Also, NTFS DOES have a concept of execute bits, but Windows itself does not use them. An implementation of this is the "trusted" app scheme in the properties in Windows Vista and above (I don't remember if XPSP2 had it also). Although this scheme is mostly broken, it was intended to stop the execution of apps just downloaded from the internet from a non-trusted source.
NTFS has the concept of metadata. Windows does not use it as an equivalent for +x bit though. And even if it did, it wouldn't be a big help for Wine, because Wine doesn't like NTFS :)
