I'd be enclined to answer "yes, that's exactly that!", but this is not black or white answer. IIRC: - I used Helm (with its Everything companion -- that is some sort of "locate" for Windows, even better than the Unix one btw) on Emacs 22/23 for months (if not for one to two years). - I used it with the above setting for `shell-file-name' -- that is unchanged in my .emacs file for years (while other settings may be often added or removed). All of that without (any? or much?) problems... but the Helm code base I'm using now is not the same as before -- I'm as good as up-to-date for all tests I did with the new Emacs versions, to be sure to avoid problems which would have been fixed on one side or the other. So, I've no comparison where only Emacs version would differ, reason why I can't honestly answer a definite "yes". But, for sure, things were very bad with the first versions of Emacs 24: in the beginning, I had a lot of crashes (multiple times a day with Emacs 24.1); now (with the latest versions), it simply freezes when the process "es.exe" becomes suspended.
