I'm not sure what patch you mean, but I get the same behavior with a build
from just a few days ago, which includes v10 of your raw input patches:
https://github.com/lutris/wine/commit/278bb42a93a418f9cc75b10fe9f56b7f07c0a1a3
https://github.com/lutris/wine/commits/lutris-4.13

A quick way to reproduce the discrepancy:  xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 3 2"
...and then compare right & middle click behavior on the desktop with that
in a raw input application.  (I used Overwatch, but there must be others.)

I probably won't track this issue any longer, since I found a way to
reprogram my mouse, and therefore no longer need xmodmap.  Other people
still use xmodmap, though, so it might be worth considering workarounds for
them before this patch gets mainlined.
