Is it out of the question for this to be an option then? For example, a command-line option can tell wine that the .exe being run should not cause sparse files unless directly specified by the app.
Again: Wine doesn't force or create sparse files. This is a file system feature. Wine simply passes the app's API requests to libc/Linux kernel.
I'm not sure why this bug has been reopened, there no a test case or a confirmation that there is a Wine bug of some kind, or why sparse files shouldn't be created at all, and why they cause any problem.
