--- Comment #26 from Omar gamingpakker+wine@gmail.com --- If that is the case it must also have check on 0x02A1 in addition to 0x028E, otherwise it wouldn't work with the wireless controller on Windows either.
I think that the main problem here is that the wireless xbox controllers are presented to the system using the ID of the receiver and not with the ID of the controller itself. In which case this is probably a bug in the driver as afaik WINE takes the ID information it receives from the evdev API.
