Sounds like a bug with your system. 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.
