I saw some patches from Misha Koshelev that might be related to this, maybe changing the key is acceptable now,
or anyone know another fix? Thx

Never mind, I found more info here:

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7953

I checked on an XP installation with IE and the key there does _not_ have %1 but it has ddeexec subkeys which means it is using DDE to communicate.
If I have time, I may look into how hard it would be to add DDE for winebrowser (I don't think it should be too bad, but I'll have to check).
