This would be relatively simple to implement, and would even be doable with a shell script outside of Wine. Just md5sum the .exe, compare it with a blacklist, pop the warning if so, and if not pass it to the normal Wine process.
You'd probably want to sha1sum only the first megabyte or so, since getting the checksum of a gigabyte executable would really slow things down.
And you might want to do it only for files that are doubleclicked on, i.e. in the desktop integration, rather than messing with the real wine.

I brought up a long time ago the idea of having something like this that
checked the current rating in the appdb. So exe files are associated with the appdb entry and double-clicking would say something like: "This Windows application is rated as Bronze and may not run correctly" or something.
