I think that claim was based on the manga Phantasy Star: Outside Saga published in SPEC, where Alis didn't become queen of Algol. I can't think of any other source other than hearsay.
EDIT: This bit of text, and its comment by Rebecca Capowski, in the Compendium translation is probably where they read about it:
"In AW 345, terrorists loyal to La Shiec made the engine of a spaceship in which Alisa I [as in Alisa the First] and Lutz were riding go haywire, and Alisa and Lutz were transported to another star. No record remains of what happened to them there, but, upon his return, Lutz originated techniques and their use. [Continuity check - this sounds like the story of Rieko Kodama's short PS comic "Phantasy Star: Out Side Saga", described in the SPEC section. In the side-story comic, however, Alisa did not become queen of Algol - which the Compendium contradicts. Offhand guess - Rieko never intended to have Alisa ascend to the throne, but whoever created all this backstory (a lot of which appears to have been written after all four games were released) decided that they needed to have Alisa become queen for *their* explanation of events, and, deciding that they liked using "Out Side Saga" in their version of things, worked its basic story into their timeline but not Rieko's ideas of what happened to the characters. Or not. Just a guess; just something to mull over.]"
