Have you tried to use the iproute2 suite for aliasing instead of 
ifconfig? I believe the ifconfig way is considered "deprecated". Then, 
specify your rules by interface and/or ip and it should work properly - 
maybe the old method only works in iptables using the interface name now?

example:

## old ip aliasing
##/sbin/ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.0.1
##/sbin/ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.0.2

## New IP aliasing using ip tool from iproute2 package:
/sbin/ip addr add 192.168.0.1/24 brd + dev eth0
/sbin/ip addr add 192.168.0.2/24 brd + dev eth0
