... there could be a pair of bugs: one in PE image manipulation functions 
plus another in Wine PE loading mechanism(s).

I could imagine the first easily inside a IMAGEHLP, eg. functions 
ImageAddCertificate() or CheckSumMappedFile().

If you find the first one, then it should be possible to write a test to 
reveal the second one.

Could you build the same project under real Windows?

Then I would run "winedump dump -f" or even "-x" on both files to compare 
the outputs (probably line by line) and to find the essential difference.
