I don't think so. Especially since it was unanimous, it hardly seems like it was a controversial decision for them.
Corporations have all sorts of disclosure requirements, it's part of the cost of being incorporated. As long as those disclosures are in government hands, a FOIA claim can be sent in to get them. If the legislature thinks that certain information should not be subject to FOIA, all it needs to do is write that exemption in the legislation.
I'm actually a little surprised it made it as far as SCOTUS.
By way of a comparison, this from the Illinois AG today.
Atty. general: Illinois should release FOID card list - chicagotribune.com
Quote:
SPRINGFIELD -- Illinois State Police stood their ground today after the state's attorney general determined the agency must disclose the names of people authorized to own guns in Illinois to comply with public records law.
Attorney General Lisa Madigan's public access counselor issued a letter Monday night rejecting state police arguments that releasing the information is an unwarranted invasion of privacy prohibited by the state public records law or that its disclosure would automatically endanger the lives of gun owners or those who don't have firearms.

Actual persons are, in the AG's opinion, not covered from FOIA disclosures of personal information, so fictional persons aren't exactly likely to either.
