The module uses a very simple method to determine if Instagram is installed. It's possible that Apple have changed this, due to reports I read about other apps using this method to determine what other apps were installed on a device, without asking permission to do so.

Try using the Titanium method Ti.Platform.canOpenURL to see if the app can open the url: "instagram://app" - If so, it should be installed. http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/api/Titanium.Platform-method-canOpenURL

So, if this isn't working, either Apple have changed the availability of canOpenURL, or the instagram app has changed its bundle url.
