I was looking at the SIOCGIFBRDADDR interface and discovered that 
always the broadcast address belonging to the *first* inet
address of the specified interface is returned.
I believe this is wrong. You should get the broadcast address belonging
to the address specified in the passed ifreq structure.

I was experimenting with aliases on an interface for which the
alias lies in a completely different network the already present
address. There should be no reason for this to fail. Except
that no program will be able to obtrain the correct broadcast
address.
