Have you? lol
No - I haven't. It's not currently possible to turn off anti-aliasing on
the brush tool, so it's not possible to "test" it.
However, knowing how anti-aliasing works, your statement is incorrect...

Yes, but with anti-aliasing turned off (which you can't presently), it
wouldn't.

I don't know why you would assume that. :)
It's incorrect at any rate.

Anti-aliasing IS what average pixels to spread over a 4-pixel block.
If you turn it off (which, again, you can't currently in the brush tool),
and a single click with a 1px brush fills more than one pixel, then that
would be incorrect behaviour.
