Anyways, do you still have the instructions? See if there is some sort of mark on the heater saying which side is supposed to go where, and if maybe the mechanic put it in backwards. Next, see if you can re-arrange the hose that is already in there to eliminate the loop, because I do agree that it would seem to cause a problem (especially since the instructions say not to)
If that doesn't solve it, I would head back and tell them to install it right, or head to DIY.

I have the time, but not the desire to have to store/dispose/replace all the coolant and hack into heater hoses. Futzing with the fuel system is enough for me right now.
I have the instructions. It's pointed up correctly, but it is wrong in every other way according to the instructions.
So does anyone here have a block heater? What does your engine temp read after leaving it on for 3 hours?
