As long as the resistor is the proper value, you shouldn't have a problem.

LED lamps have a higher resistance than incandescent lamps and so do not pull as much current. The BCM senses the current when the light is turned on and goes to fast-blink mode if the current is below some threshold value. The resistor in parallel with the LED reduces the resistance of the circuit causing the current to rise above the threshold.
