This is a valid bug. Windows doesn't have this problem, and neither should wine.
My two cents ... one can verify the bug by running any application with "strace". For example, "strace wine winefile" would halt if cups network printer is unreachable.
doing the same, after stopping cups printer is stopped (/etc/init.d/cupsys stop) will make the application run instantly.
