Whoops, I didn't notice that Python uses UuidCreateSequential.  From MSDN:

  For security reasons, UuidCreate was modified so that it no longer uses
  a machine's MAC address to generate UUIDs. UuidCreateSequential was
introduced
  to allow creation of UUIDs using the MAC address of a machine's Ethernet
card.

I'm reopening this, as Wine's implementation of UuidCreateSequential calls
UuidCreate, whereas it should use the MAC address-based method.  Setting
component to rpcrt4, too.

My comment about the multicast bit occasionally being set (when the machine on
which UuidCreateSequential is called has no MAC address) still stands, so
there's still a Python bug.
