The problem I see is that this will bypass the loadorder config, and
retrieve the version of the native dll in all cases. I think it would
be better to try to take loadorder into account, though I admit it's
not trivial to do.

Any idea how to do it without breaking DLL separation?

A possibility would be to use wine_dll_get_owner; if the dll doesn't
have an owner then you know it's native only and you can access the
file directly. This way you only do the LoadLibrary16 for dlls that
have a builtin implementation, it's not perfect but probably good
enough.
