Yes, one wineserver per ./wine directory. That is something I
had to learn the hard way as well. I actually haven't seen a
case where the wineserver didn't die automatically, but what
can happen is that a given application will release all its
windows but not quit, leaving that stray process plus the
wineserver. Killing the last process usually takes the
wineserver with it a couple seconds later.

How do you suggest making it clearer? A paragraph in the docs?
