Yes it does.
I just tried this:
I copied a TortoiseHg msi ('B') onto the desktop of a Windows 7 Ultimate
x64, running in a virtual machine of VirtualBox, which had a slightly
older build of TortoiseHg msi ('A') preinstalled. The shell extension of
'A' was loaded into explorer, which I knew for sure because I saw the
overlay icons and context menu working as expected (I had done a
logoff/login after installing 'A' on the clean Windows 7).
Then I made sure that no window was open. Not even a window of explorer.exe.
Then I double-clicked the 'B' msi on the desktop to start an upgrade
install (the 'B' msi had a different product id than the 'A' msi, so
doing a major upgrade in Windows Installer terms).
ValidatingInstall then presented the "Files in Use" dialog with an entry
for "Windows Explorer" as usual. And it did shut down and restart explorer.
I haven't been able to test this on Vista yet.
