No after it. Here's a listing of /root/.bashrc
# .bashrc
# User specific aliases and functions
alias rm='rm -i'
alias cp='cp -i'
alias mv='mv -i'
# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
fi
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin
export PATH
# --- END LISTING

I've just checked and yes, it does work if I open a non-login shell.
Hmmm, intriguing....
