My RPMs have a Z drive mapped to /, marked as "network" drive. The network drive mark usually make programs refrain from creating Z:\files.
I don't really see a problem, except a virus might go and scan the whole UNIX system including NFS trees. But the risk is low, and benefits are greater.
That makes a whole lot of sense to me - I installed wine because there are some windows programs I find useful, I don't want to only be able to use them if I've put the files I want them to work on in the "right" place. I find it annoying enough that windows won't let me CD to a UNC directory.
For people who are using Wine to play games I can see that a totally different approach makes sense - for them a sandbox that the game runs in is a perfect scenario.
Maybe that is why we are having trouble reaching a consensus here
