Aliasing comes from decimation of fields with large
scale correlations.  If bozo is truly random, it would
be impossible to get aliasing effects at any magnification.
However, pseudorandom number generators have finite domain over
which they behave in a pseudorandom fashion, and it appears
the extensive magnification used here has revealed the
limits of the one used here.
