The code in question seems to have been added in 2004, and is visible here:
http://source.winehq.org/source/dlls/kernel/heap.c?v=wine20040716#L1150

It has been reported to cause problems before:

I think the first step would be to file a bug report in bugzilla.
(I know you feel there are too many of those already,
but it'd be really nice to have a good record of the problem
