If you have an outright crash because of unimplemented function in a DLL then open a bug for it, if it's not already open. Like bug 24530 in your example.

If you have a crash / graphical artifacts in a game that is fixed by using a specific native DLL, then report that game, attach complete terminal output (as an attachment), assign the bug to the dll in question, and indicate that using native DLL resolves the issue. It would be much more helpful if said game has a demo and this demo affected by the same issue.

Just remove native dlls from system32/game's directory after installer is finished. Wine has it's own "dlls" in another place.
