I wouldn't think so. But maybe. Jamie sometimes chooses odd things to be Pro-only. ;-)
Hmmm...so I'm not seeing any code that would indicate it is a Pro only feature.
I suspect you just didn't enable mail for the Alias domain. Try turning it on the Edit Virtual Server page.

Obviously, I <i>did </i>enable mail for the Alias domain.
Here is what I did: VM 3.69 gpl - all with the default templates
(ooops, the screenshots are a bit wide)

The automatically created mappings in GPL and Pro versions are different, too.

In both cases the Alias Domains were created using the same workflow and the same settings (as far as I can tell).

Hi Christian,
The reason you aren't seeing the option to create mail aliases
is that on your GPL system, Virtualmin is configured to copy
/etc/postfix/virtual file entries from the target domain to the alias.
This is done to prevent email backscatter .. basically, without it
Postfix will accept email to <b>any</b> address in an alias domain, even if
the address does not exist in the target. It will then send back a bounce
message, but since spammers rarely use valid From: addresses in their
email, the bounce is more harmful than useful.
However, because virtual file entries are copied from the target
domain, the alias domain cannot have any email aliases of its own.
If you want to change this, go to Server Configuration -> Email Settings,
and adjust the 'Mail aliases mode' option. It can also be changed for
new domains at System Settings -> Server Templates -> Default Settings ->
Mail for domain -> Mail alias mode for alias domains.

Ok, I see it now. The "Edit Mail Aliases" link actually appears after changing 'Mail aliases mode' to 'Catchall forwarding'.
