In attempt to better explain the situation I forgot to directly answer your
question. Yes, you are correct. In fact, not only data before the first section
is left as is, but everything in other sections that are not supposed to be
modified in the called function is left as is as well. That includes any
possible NULL bytes/characters that exist in them. With regards to NULLs, this
is something Wine's current implementation is inherently incapable of doing.
