I disagree. If IE doesn't run, it's a bug. I would actually say that it's 
a major bug - IE is one the those core applications that users expects to 
work.

You are incorrect about "there is nothing to fix": Perhaps the source code 
is fine, but the documentation is certainly not. 
http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=469 even says:

"(to be continued because then it still doesn\'t run because of ole 
errors)"

Why do you think Bugzilla cannot be used for tracking documentation bugs? 
There is a "wine-documentation" component and a "WineHQ Apps Database" 
component, if you think that wine-misc is totally wrong.

I would very much prefer is this bug could be left open until someone has 
managed to figure out what needs to be overridden to actually *run* IE.
