Repositioning wheels/tires on the car does not affect alignment settings. Tire carcasses do take a "set" on the front of an FWD car because of the driving and braking stresses that the rears are barely subjected to by comparison.
Also, if the rear tires were initially spin balanced on the car, any imbalance in the drums/rotors will have be factored is which ... when moved to the front position will make that balance inappropriate.
Personally... with FWD, I don't do tire rotations any more. The rears scarcely wear at all while the fronts you can watch disintegrate month by month. I wear down the fronts to about 4/32nds and then rotate them to the back, same side. When the "new" fronts are worn down to 4/32nds, I get a new set of four.
I have noted a couple of times that when repositioning "experienced" rear tires to the drive axle that a steering shake (very minor) appears for a couple thousand miles.
