No, it's unrelated.

Previously, we reported the file system type to be NTFS for hard disk
mounts. Now we report the file system to be UNIXFS, because, e.g., the
.Net 2.0 installer tries to do NTFS specific stuff on the disk, and
with UNIXFS (which it doesn't recognize), it doesn't. The problem is
some other apps DEPEND on seeing NTFS to work, e.g., Total War
(downloading the demo now to test), and in the case of this bug, DVD
Shrink. It's not using any NTFS specific features, and it's not using
a 'real' NTFS mount through NTFS-3G.
