Yes, the problem still exists.  See the terminal session at the end of this
comment for details.

The main problem is, that the command 'start' refuses to work at all, if the
option /B is present.  It would already be an improvement, if the option /B
would be silently ignored if wine is not able to start a program without
creating a new window.


Terminal session:

Z:\home\markus>markus at markus-desktop:~$ wine --version
wine-1.1.7
markus at markus-desktop:~$ wine cmd
CMD Version 1.1.7

Z:\home\markus>start /B
err:start:wmain Option 'L"/B"' not recognized
Start a program, or open a document in the program normally used for files with
that suffix.
Usage:
start [options] program_filename [...]
start [options] document_filename

Options:
/M[inimized] Start the program minimized.
/MAX[imized] Start the program maximized.
/R[estored]  Start the program normally (neither minimized nor maximized).
/W[ait]      Wait for started program to finish, then exit with its exit code.
/Unix        Use a Unix filename and start the file like windows explorer.
/L           Show end-user license.
