What's your explanation for this problem happening _only_ with that particular
application running under Wine? Every other app in the world seems to work just
fine. So seemingly it isn't Compiz doing something completely wrong, but rather
some very uncommon action in _either_ Compiz or Wine (Wine sometimes does very
uncommon actions, such as flipping the override_redirect bit during a window's
lifetime), unexpected for the other side.

Doing silly fingerpointing won't help in neither debugging nor fixing that
issue, though, so I suggest to actually _try_ to debug that issue instead of
blindly dismissing it which helps neither us (we don't have enough
information), nor the user (who still has a non-working app), nor you (you'll
get bug reports again and again).

If there is a missing event, we need to find out why it's missing. But first
step is figuring out what exactly happens in the app (what would be
expected/what happens). With that information we can work on the issue.
