Mostly just "not Wine", but it's likely to be in the OS or graphics drivers,
since the bug depends on the version of OS X, and not so much on the version of
XQuartz. (And also happens with the X server in CrossOver.)

There are some workarounds like e.g. virtual desktop and the one mentioned in
my previous comment, but essentially yes, unless you can convince Apple to fix
it. I'm afraid that's just one of the disadvantages of using a proprietary OS.
