DLL's register interfaces that belong to that file where as these are 
miscellaneous entries. Do you have an example of where WINE register
these types of entries in another DLL?

Usually creating logs like that from native DLLs is frowned upon for legal reasons. But in this case, you’re essentially trying to find out how an aspect of the DLLs interface works. I hope someone who knows the legalese better chimes in.

before and after or use a +reg log. Usually creating logs like that from

A registry diff is less invasive and doesn't expose the internals.

The easy registry diff.
Backup the .wine/system.reg file
registry the dll

Compare the .wine/system.reg with your backup.
