Yes, I would. Why is that weird? It's not just about the money. Linux users are clearly willing to spend more for some things. Even though it's probably a symbolic gesture, the humble indie bundles show that.[1][2]
Not to mention that it will cost Alienware quite a bit of money to start shipping Linux. As I put in the "additional comments" box in the survey: I would pay (up to $150) extra only if every installed hardware component (sans video card) worked properly with stock Linux. That includes webcam and HDMI audio out. Video card is sort of a special case, though :(
