The applications Smile, AppleScript Editor and Terminal all exhibit this behavior:

I open a window, then drag & drop a .webloc file named "How SSL Works.webloc" (for example) from my desktop onto the window. The result is the text
"http://www.definityhealth.com/marketing/how_ssl_works.html"
(but it's not enclosed in quotes)

In order to get an alias to this file, I have to type (not drag & drop) ...

set fileAlias to alias "OS_X:Users:lutherfuller:Desktop:How SSL Works.webloc"

which is a valid alias in AppleScript.
