Nope. If it did this in earlier versions it must have been fixed. I tried the following with a remote view and all worked fine:

use Billing_Rates_View NODATA
index on Last_name+First_name tag Name
index on ALLTRIM(Last_Name) tag LastName
index on PADR(Last_Name,30) tag LastName2
=REQUERY('Billing_Rates_View'
