It might be even more expensive (say, $10K or $15K), but $5K would at least get Codeweavers' attention. I don't think any bug has ever scraped $5K together though, so it's kind of a long shot.
While Alexandre's development time surely deserves a high hourly rate, gathering this amount of money doesn't seem feasible. Perhaps this is just a bug that will never be fixed due to the combined lack of affected users (92 users out of all the wine users) and the apparent time and effort required to architect an acceptable fix.
