Yes bug 17618 is fixed, however it has no direct relation to this bug.

The first and most critical problem is that setting the string
HKLM\Software\Wine\Drives\c: to hd still functions as autodetect (the wine code
interprets a local hard drive as autodetect), this is also true of other drive
letters, the overrides are ignored if they are hd.

The second problem is that this is a user-visible problem in the default
configuration - c: should always default to hd, not autodetect, because both
the user and the applications expect c: to behave like a fixed disk.

Hence why my patch forced c: to report as DRIVE_FIXED.
