I was hoping to perhaps provoke discussion of the new behavior of the file dialog. Prior to this patch:

the default behavior was to start the open file dialog in the current directory. After the patch, the default behavior is to start in the C:\My Documents directory, though this can be changed with a registry key.

I think this is a correct behavior of the file dialog. If an application is started with an icon what's the sense of having e.g. starting directory for Word it's binary directory? On other hand I agree with you that default directory value should be set not to C:\My Documents, but to the home directory. We currently map the user home directory to one of the drive letters. You can submit a patch to the default Wine registry to point the default document directory to the home directory drive.
