I don't know the details, but this is not the mentality of Wine. The problem is if some application expects a particular behaviour, that behaviour needs to be replicated in Wine. Binary compatibility is important, so Wine tries to be bug-for-bug compatible. This might be off-topic for this thread, but I feel it is relevant. Feel free to ignore or correct me if I'm wrong here.
