I'd be interesting in trying to see some simulations of this in a full wave 3D electromagnetic simulator like HFSS from Ansys, FEKO, EMpro from Agilent etc. I currently have a trial license for Agilent's EMpro, but don't feel confident in trying this antenna. I would have been a bit happier using HFSS, but don't have a license for it. Maybe one of the much cheaper NEC based programs coud do this, though I'm not so sure I'd trust the results, whereas I would from HFSS. HFSS (which costs a small fortune), comes with a free antenna design kit. That is able to design a Quadrifilar Helix Antenna, but needs a ground plane, so has a very different radiation pattern to this.
