Someone's either missing the point or is by-choice off topic.

1. While I don't really use xdg user dirs, even if I did, I'd want them and any
wine produced data dirs *separated*. Just as in the case of file associations,
I consider any merging of those a misfeature.

2. OK, minor correction, it seems that those English dirs aren't actually
English, just for yet another locale - I use the same prefix for apps run in
different locales and see no reason why that should work.

On the plus side, at least it's not a data loss bug: as long as the dir isn't
empty, wineboot doesn't overwrite it.

> It's impractical to have Wine figure when or not to update symlinks.

Completely disagree with that. wine is going Windows route here: trying to be
smarter than the user in a dumb way without any sane method for an override
(...).
Building a separate env var set just for wine isn't one.
I consider Gnome designs flawed and see strong resemblance here.
