I just submitted a patch to wine-patches that fixes this.
This is the first functionality I've ever contributed
to Wine.  (Six whole lines! :-)

I also noticed that ShellExecute will sometimes try to
run the executable  "C:\\Program" (the first word of "C:\\Program Files\\whatever...").
I fixed that for the case I touched, I think, but didn't do a general fix.

When we finally have a conformance test for ShellExecute,
it should verify that it never tries to run
the first space-terminated fragment of the program name
as an executable!
