At the university where I work, someone has claimed that installing IE 8 onto a Windows 2003 Server, " ... totally blew up the registry for our SharePoint application using VM discs/folders." Have other people experienced this?

It doesn't seem like it would...but if you're worried, couldn't you just backup your registry?

System State backup, it's a lot of effort and I can never seem to get restores working right.
I'd test it in a VM first, but this whole thing sounds fishy to me. Google around.

And do what with that backup?
Backing up the registry is easy... Restoring it just for the sake of one application is not worth the risk or problems. I have to agree with above, VM.
Are you sure it was IE8 instead of Windows Installer?

well sounds like there is a *LOT* missing from that quote.
i hardly see why IE would wipe reg-keys not having to do with IE and a server != a browser
and what do the VM disks have to do with that?
give us the full quote cause that bit makes nothing clear and could mean anything.
