Why not? It's a bug fix and four places to fix sounds quite reasonable (>100 may not be). Maybe it's just me but I didn't feel like 1.0 would entail a deep deep freeze period where only critical/security bugs would be fixed.
At this point the freeze is pretty strict, since the plan is to release next week.
Also I don't feel that the current state of Wine (or of the future Wine 1.0) is such a marvel of perfection that it justifies a deep freeze to make sure it's not going to get a tiny little scratch here or there.
Tiny scratches are not a problem, the problem is that in many cases you can't really know if a patch is going to cause only a tiny scratch or a major failure; the only way to know is to put it in and wait for the users' screams, and that's not a risk we want to take at this point.
So patches that are not obviously safe will have to wait; that sort of fix is certainly a candidate for inclusion in 1.0.1, once it has cooked for a bit in the post-1.0 devel branch.
