It really depends on what information is available to the addon and what it actually grabs.

If the addon looks at your target whenever a loot window opens, and then adds the contents of that loot window to one looting of that mob name, then any time you AoE loot your numbers will end up off.

It's similar to how many elementals showed absurdly higher drop rates for the elemental bits (like Essence of Air) because most elementals never had any loot, which meant no loot window and not adding to the count.

It's not likely to be a real issue for bosses, since AoE loot will rarely matter there, but it's likely to cause problems with other stuff.
