That looks more like problem with auto-completion, than wine.
Probably, person, who wrote that auto-completion, expected
Windows programs to be run from case-insensitive filesystem.

But I've got something, that may actually be considered a problem
with wine.

If a fat partition is mounted with iocharset=utf8 option
(making filesystem case-sensitive),
I've seen a few Windows programs misbehave (most don't seem affected by that).

They seem to create non-files - it's a bit hard to explain as I don't 
fully understand what happens, but it looks like till the partition is
unmounted,
the file seem to exist (you can't create a file with the same name)
and not exist (you can't view file with that name) at the same time.

Very few programs did that (I can't recall the names right now),
but it was still annoying, as it prevented them from working correctly.
