WINE has its own bug tracker. If they think this release "works", then
it is problem.

Also WINE has long track of such bugs. It works mostly or maybe sometimes
(e.g. it works for some of my software), but sometimes it doesn't.

The best way is you fix it yourself.

(Just to make it clear, you can file PR in pkgsrc, but it doesn't mean
that it's going to be fixed soon or ever. WINE isn't easy to support.
You have to get involved into the process somehow. Ideally, you should
provide detailed analysis and hopefully a fix.)
