It's not Snipes during the helicopter scene, you're correct. The director, Del Toro, confirms it on his solo commentary track on the DVD/blu-ray. It wasn't over any grudge or anything though, it was simply a scene they did after production was over and Snipes was already working on another film and had changed his hair so they brought in his stunt double and had Snipes do the voice after the fact.
Now, it's a whole different story on Blade Trinity. For that film, it's almost entirely his stunt double for practically the whole film because of the huge grudge match between Snipes and David Goyer, the director.
