Hardly.

1) There is a need to download an installer
2) There is a need to place a malicious dll into the directory from where the
installed will run.

Thus you need a physical access to the machine to initiate this action.
Moreover, if you have a malicious dll there most likely you already compromised
and running nsis installer is the least problem you have.

So i think it should rather be considered as a plain bug and we should address
it anyhow (probably by updating nsis version).
