[/quote] No, as you thought, that's complete bollocks. No amount of extra non-speaking string length makes any difference to the tension of the string. It may change the compliance or how stiff the string feels, but IME break angles have more effect than extra string behind the nut, and since the extra long E string has a string tree in it's path most of that extra length compliance effect is negated.
