Yes, it is. There needs to be some way to work around the check if there's a good reason for it, and explicitly doing sudo wineprefixcreate is the way to do that. There's no reason for a user to run wineprefixcreate by itself, so it's not a problem to allow it.
After I posted my comment I was starting to think that would be the reason. I consider this bug fixed then. Should prevent most users from screwing up stuff, but gives power users the ability when needed. Hooray comprimise!
