Surely this is a Wine problem simply because Wine doesn't change resolutions nvidia method of changing screen resolution, and instead relies on xrandr which doesn't do anything to the screen because I have nvidia drivers?
Wine is an application like any other app on your system. It does not talk to the hardware directly. Instead it uses standard X extensions to change display resolution. If those extensions don't support resolution you need - Wine can't set it. That simple.
Bug is invalid because bug is in your configuration, not Wine.
I don't know what they talking about on that bug you linked. XRandr extension been around for ages and nVidia drivers work perfectly with it:
