No, the simple.el check is for something else.
list-load-path-shadows assuredly works fine with subdirs.
It's actually because when Emacs was running uninstalled, it used to
add the installation lisp directories to load-path if they existed.
It doesn't do that since 2012-07-07, so this check can probably be
removed anyway, but it should not cause the issue you describe by itself.

This implies you have multiple copies of "simple.el" in directories
directly specified in your load-path. Do you? If so, why?
(cedet/ede/simple.el does not count, because cedet/ede is not in
load-path.)
