I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint, it's really up to Apple to fix this. There
may be architectural changes that may mitigate the issue in the future, but I
can't promise that.

The thing is that the Apple OpenGL implementation has many more bugs and quirks
than just this one, and while the individual workarounds for those may seem
innocent enough on their own, those quickly add up to something unmaintainable.
The other consideration is that Wine is primarily a Free Software project, and
has comparatively few users and developers on MacOS. That means that even if we
did include those kinds of workarounds, it would be relatively easy to
inadvertently break them again.
