I would find this extremely strange. For example, the 'glXSwapBuffers' man
page says this:
(...) The update typically takes place during the
vertical retrace of the monitor, rather than immediately
after glXSwapBuffers is called.
glXSwapBuffers performs an implicit glFlush before it
returns. Subsequent OpenGL commands may be issued immedi-
ately after calling glXSwapBuffers, but are not executed
until the buffer exchange is completed.
The only mention I have of 'glFinish' being useful is when multiple GLX
contexts share the same double buffered window (a bit later in this man page).
So I would definitely think that this is a bug in the fglrx drivers and Wine
is not the place to fix it...

PS: but thanks to have made me re-read the man page, it gives ideas on how
to try to solve the multi-threaded D3D games problem :-)
