OpenOffice had difficulties working with RTF files for a long time.  This may or may not have been corrected as I'm not tracking the Issuezilla at OpenOffice.org.

I recommend a compromise.  Wine should first look for an installation of OpenOffice.org, either Linux or Windows.  If this is not found, then it should use Wordpad.  Lacking this, and I don't know why Wordpad would not be present, then the user is told that there is no program available to work with RTF files.

What do you think about this as a solution to the problem?
