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 :)
