It does...sort of.  I filed bugs for this a while back, and Alexandre
committed fixes. Currently:

$ rm -rf ~/.wine
$ wineboot
$ sudo wine foo.exe
will fail

$ rm -rf ~/.wine
$ sudo wineboot
$ wine foo.exe
will fail

$ rm -rf ~/.wine
$ sudo wineboot
$ sudo wine foo.exe
will work fine (need some way for users that need raw ICMP/disk
access/etc. to work around it)

$ rm -rf ~/.wine
$ wineboot
$ wine foo.exe
will work fine (and is the ideal way)
