You still didn't provide anything to prove that comctl32 in XP simply
does not subclass user32 button. I repeat that there is *one* button
implementation is user32, and comctl32 most likely simply add theming
to it by providing custom drawing code. That has nothing to do with
statements you repeat, and the comments about comctl32 you have added
to the *user32* code in Wine.

Once you really add button support to comctl32 you can safely add comments
like the one you did there. But until then that's a pure speculation based
on the MS documentation which was proved wrong many times already.
