Yes. The HKEY_USERS\.Default keys are _not_ default keys used in your way.
The hive is copyed once when you create a new user.
Global keys are in HKLM.

The right way is to copy HKEY_USERS\.Default on first use to HKEY_USERS\UserName
and/or implement SHGetSpecialFolder location right (look into HKLM if in HKCU is found 
nothing)
and create such keys in HKLM by wineinstall.
