In the field settings, "Render Views filters as select list" does not result in a select list in the exposed filter of an entity reference field using a taxonomy. Only a text field is exposed which takes the term ID's.

Can anyone confirm this is the case...it appears like this in my sites and I would like to know if this is a bug.

As described here #1392702-30: Entity Reference does not offer select list as a views exposed filter, only text field for id number comments 30-31

You may want to revisit the Manage fields page, and tick a new option:

Enable Render Views filters as select list

at the end of the field edit page:
admin/structure/types/manage/TYPE/fields/field_NAME

After doing that you may run into the problems described here: #1778368: Views filter as select list does not work due to "The operator is invalid on filter"

Just edit the exposed filter in the view and resave the view.

I already have the "Render views filter as select list" enabled. And no i dont get the error from your linked issue. But with this config i still get no select list. But if i check the "Output filter as hierarchical select" option in the filter settings i get a select list. Did not know that this is also required.
But now i have another problem, in the default state the filter shows "-Any-" where i get no results. I only get results if i set a filter. If i have more filters i will have to filter with everyone of them to get a result. Not very nice.

Can you provide some screenshots of what you are seeing? Also please include the version number of Drupal, entity reference, and views modules.

Would you be able to upgrade to Entity Reference 7.x-1.x-dev on a test site and see if you are still experiencing the problem?

Hmm strange on a completly new drupal installation it works with the latest stable/recommended versions. I also enabled entity translation and setup the vocabolary as translatable. but this also works. i will do more tests tomorrow :-) -> now 00:00

Maybe i have found the problem, it seems there is a incompatibility to the shs module.

I have found a related issue by the shs module.
