Yeah you can use the Qt file dialog instead, as far as I know, that does not load shell extensions. However, it is functionally much more limited than the native file dialog. calibre has an environment variable that you can set to disable use of native file dialogs.
It is on my todo list to someday create a standalone windows executable that does not have any dll dependencies (apart from standard windows ones) that communicates over stdin/stdout and can run windows file dialogs -- that's pretty much the only way I can see to robustly workaround this problem.
