I can only say that on my test Joomla instance I had the problem and this fixed it.
It is possible that I have disabled some extensions, one of which would have already loaded the helper if it was enabled. I note that it is loaded in MenuItemField.php and I have Fields disabled both in global settings and by disabling the extensions.
I also note that the Hathor admin template might be loading this. If you tested it using Hathor, can you try it under Isis?
Besides which, isn't it good style to include the helper file in every php file that uses it so that you can be sure that it has been loaded and avoid these sorts of issues?
I also cannot replicate the reported issue. Please can you recheck that the issue exists in a clean install of the current release

I cannot confirm this issue with Nightly Build of 3.8.8-dev, 2018-05-09. No problems to import presets "Joomla" or "Modern" in new administrator menus.
