The inductance of the dummy coil will also get bigger, as there will be iron (alnico from the real pickups) inside this coil now. This will change it's frequency & output response.
As long as the pickups are not inside, but above the dummy coil, things should be fine. If you lay the dummy coil on the bottom of a routing as deep as a pickup cavity, it will be under the pickups, as stratpickups sit raised in their scratchplate.
