why not have wine take advantage of syslog-ng (if syslog-ng is installed and running)? its an easy way to find out like you said "why this bloody wineconsole doesn't work" and you can still redirect the output to /dev/null... by the by, if you don't know how syslog-ng is an easy way to find out, it prints out all messages it is given to tty12, so all the user would have to do is hit ctrl+alt+f12 read the message(s) and then alt+f7 back to x...
