If Windows app X is broken, but works on *some* Windows systems, we generally implement the specific behavior of those "some" systems where it works.
The GPU example is just the most prominent example. Intel cards are 50+% of the market share, but there are many games that don't work on them. If this game fails for the same reason on Wine, I consider this a bug in Wine. There are other examples too. Just look for complaints of Wine tests failing on Windows because our tests are too strict.
