Of course it does, primitives are drawn using polygons and they are 
going to use screen pixels (i.e. the actual resolution). It's impossible 
to emulate a scaled mode setting with transformations with respect to 
how the primitives are drawn.

That's why you always use an intermediate bitmap that you then scale up 
if you want large pixels with your primitives. If you really want a 
virtual mode in Allegro, that is the method you need to use.
