Hello,

 I'm wondering if NM can setup a bridge using an alias interface (ie
eth0:0)?



Not with NM.

I didn't try it, but I don't think you can even do
that with kernel/brctl alone. A bridge slave needs an
ifindex, and alias interfaces don't have their own separate
device/ifindex.
Thus, you are anyway enslaving the whole eth0.
