Nor is there a guarantee that the non-full path is ABI compatible on other systems, which was the point of allowing the full path (for system libraries, mind you, not Wine's own) through.
I don't see why it wouldn't be ABI compatible; that's the whole point of finding the soname, so that we get the proper version of the library. The full path is completely irrelevant; when you dynamically link an app the linker doesn't store the full path to the system libraries either, just the soname. That's exactly what we are doing here.
