If there's still doubt that there are errors in need of fixing, can't a
regression test be used to prove this one way or the other?  Run the test on
the unpatched version, then compare with the results from the patched version.

Do you think it would be worth it to submit a documentation patch that
documents what the wineserver is actually doing, and not what it is designed to
do?  It might at least enable developers who know the undocumented paradigms to
focus on a fix that works within wineserver's intended design.
