I doubt Alonso would've known. NPS says that Alonso must've known for them to take an aggressive strategy, as he wouldn't have knowingly decided on that. Now, correct me if I'm wrong on this, but I'm pretty sure the fuel loads were/are decided right after qualifying before the cars go into parc ferme, even for those who don't make the top 10. Briatore and Symonds didn't ask NPJ to crash (according to what NPJ said) until the following day. So unless FB and PS made up their minds straight away, presuming NPJ would agree, and told Alonso before him, I can't see how Alonso would've known, so his theory is nonsense. Alonso himself said after the race that he didn't consider such a strategy that risky, so I think they just went for the aggressive strategy and worked around that after
