If I have no other parties on a Canton participant node of the form “Alice::xxxxxxxxxxxxxx”, where xxxxxxxxxxxxxx is the namespace, are there any situations in which calling “allocatePartyWithHintOn” with Alice as the hint may not give me “Alice::xxxxxxxxxxxxxx” as the allocated party id?

No there are no such situations. You will always get a party of the form Alice::… or an error.
