Oh, right. Well, at least I'm enthusiastic, if not wise :-)
I guess the way to fix this right would be to create IDS_PROGRAM_FILES_ACCESSORIES analogous to IDS_PROGRAM_FILES; that would let us localize the path in shell32.dll, and setupapi.dll could handle it just like it does IDS_PROGRAM_FILES already (it translates the %16422% into the localized Program Files directory name).
Then maybe get rid of the need to create the directores in wineprefixcreate by modifying create_fake_dll in setupapi/fakedll.c to create the directories if they don't exist.
Lotta trouble to go through just to support broken-ish apps that need to know where wordpad is, but maybe I'll see about doing it if nobody else fixes this.
