It does introduce some ambiguity (is the 'th' a thorn or something else?), but that always happens---nearly every Greek name has 2-3 different ways to write it ([[Veria]], Veroia, Beroea, Berea), but that's not a good reason to use [[Βέροια]], even if that would be nicer from the point of view of anyone who knows the Greek alphabet.
Of course, there's no reason not to have a redirect at Βέροια - I would guess there's nothing more infuriating to a native Greek speaker to have to plough through half a dozen different transliterations in order to find the English page he wants...
