Well isn't the the SR-1 Normandy shake down run the first time Joker meet Kaiden and second Kaiden obviously moved on after the SR-1 blew up so I don't see why that should affect Joker and Shepard getting together.
It's a popular fanon theory that Joker and Kaidan were BFFs because of the conversation they have at the verrrry beginning of ME1. And they do seem friendly, with the teasing and bantering, but that's pretty much the only time they interact or mention each other. I've always assumed they were work friends-- they got along, maybe they'd get a beer together while on leave, but they weren't, like, best friends for life.
Joker seems to be kind of aware of how things went on Horizon, based on his conversation with Shepard afterwards, so he'd know that things did not go well, as you said. So, yeah, I don't think that the fact that Shep may have dated Kaidan would be a problem, especially if Shepard made it clear that things were over in that department. (That's actually half the reason I want DLC with the Virmire Survivor; partially so that people who have stayed loyal to their non-Liara ME1 LI can get some love, and partially so that my Shep can break things off with Kaidan for real.)
