No one can tell the difference between filler put there by Alice and filler put there by Bob. Filler is filler! It's all random bytes anyway. Note that if Bob (or one of Bob's other aliases) is present in the route in two distinct locations, then they can tell the difference because the base protocol always uses the same payment hash across the entire route. Atomic multipath payments (AMPs) and Point Time-Locked Contracts (PTLCs) eliminate the correlation vector by randomizing the payment identifier across each route/hop.
