I only ever drag & drop files when burning a CD or DVD, never using the option key. I always see an icon that looks like an alias (I had to check this, because I never use aliases) but when I click burn the full files are burned to the disk correctly (and as one would intuitively expect). No "aliases" are burned to disk on my 10.4 systems. Stroller.
