What happens on Unix with that setup? When I try setting LANG to he_IL and LC_CTYPE to en_US on unix, I can type Hebrew characters in kedit, but they are saved as "?". In other words, Wine's behavior under the case you mention exactly reflects the behavior Unix gives.
I think the GIGO rule should apply here. Garbage in, garbage out.
ShacharIt seems that Wine under the above circumstances does not allow the keyboard input at all, not even for Unicode apps. This, however, strikes me as a bug in the keyboard input area, not in the locale handling area.
That's a bug in X11 which does not have a unicode input system and has no such a thing as input locale. You always can use 'xev' to see what keyboard inout X11 sends to an application. You will see that Wine has nothing to do with that.
