Output from MT4 terminal.exe when trying to install EA with MT4 already running

The website, http://www.mql4.com/, is integrated into the newest builds of
Metatrader. To install EAs, you click on the "Download" link of the EA. For
example, on this page...
http://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/1870

This redirects to a URL of the form,
"mql4buy://1870.PZ%20Goldfinch%20Scalper%20EA/free".

On Windows, this starts an instance of Metatrader terminal.exe with the
remainder of the URL passed as a parameter e.g.

terminal.exe  "//1870.PZ Goldfinch Scalper EA/free"

This either starts Metatrader, or if it is already running, installs the EA and
exits.

The first part of the bug is that mql4buy URLs are not handled correctly by
Wine Explorer i.e. they are not passed to terminal.exe as they are on a real
Windows installation. The second issue is that even if the URL is fed to
terminal.exe manually, it does nothing. The EA is not installed.

The same problem exists using MT5, 64 bit.

I am using Kubuntu 14.04 and MT4 is installed in its own WINEPREFIX, 32bit
arch.
