In principle, yes, because Wine is supposed to be a complete reimplementation of the win32 API, thus any program that runs differently on Wine than on Windows demonstrates a bug in Wine. (IIRC there are a few Windows viruses that do run on wine.) In practice, any Wine bug that impairs only viruses will probably not be a high priority to get fixed :)
