In Emacs 28, they do work the same:

~/src/emacs/trunk $ alias c 'cp $*'
~/src/emacs/trunk $ sudo c foo /etc/bar
[sudo] password for larsi: 
sudo: c: command not found
~/src/emacs/trunk $ *sudo c foo /etc/bar
[sudo] password for larsi: 
sudo: c: command not found

So that's consistent, and probably the correct way to behave.  So I'm
closing this bug report.
