I just committed an update to the emulators/wine port which passed my
testing with both 16- and 32-bit Windows applications.  Does that update
address the issue you have been seeing?

Yes, this definitely was/is a "FreeBSD thing".  Sadly, there is not much
of a FreeBSD community looking after Wine, mostly two or three volunteers
making a change/fix now and then.  I hope the update I committed today
does address the issues you have been seeing, or it may be difficult to
get them addressed.
