Oh, well, it's a known problem. It's not easily fixable in the official Wine tree without, say, half a man-year of work. There's an ugly hack (an one-liner) to make it work (in conjunction with a stdole32.tlb file from real Windows), but since Alexandre never yet applied this hack to the official Wine (though it might be in CodeWeavers Crossover), I presume he never will before there's a "real" solution (which will take man-months of work, and writing an IDL compiler to let us generate our own .tlb file instead of using the native one, maybe another month or two).
After the WineX 2.0 release, I've once again been working on completing my version of the real solution (I'm close to have it working now), but of course, Gav probably still wants a fair chunk of LGPL-ed code relicensed in exchange...
Ove, is this the same issue as described in bug 423 "Out of Process COM"? http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=423
If you don't mind I'll add your comments to that bug.
