Didn't the bug report a real world app requiring that behaviour? I think the reactos regedit was working on windows but failing under wine due to this exact problem, if I recall correctly.
Well, yes, but that doesn't really qualify as a real world app, since it can easily be fixed. It's similar to having a bug in one of our Winelib apps, the right approach in that case is to fix the app not add a workaround in Wine.
