Hi Alan, you should open a bug for this rather than ask here. (Also, I just tried on Ubuntu 10.04 with Wine 1.3.9 here, and I can't confirm.)
Thanks, Juan, for your reply which inspired me to build wine-1.3.9, and indeed the issue has been fixed for that version. I should have built wine-1.3.9 before saying anything here, but I thought I was safe because it's not been very long since 1.3.8 was released. Sorry for that noise.
This is obviously a case where discussion here has saved a "noise" bug report on the bugtracker. Some open-source projects that I am aware of do encourage discussion of issues on the mailing lists before bug reporting to reduce bugtracker noise at the expense of some more list noise. I assumed because of the bot reports I have noticed on this list, wine also had that same culture. However, at this point, I don't know whether the above remark about not discussing bugs here is one person's opinion or the consensus culture here. I am willing to go along with whatever that consensus is.
