There is one major snag, however: unionfs displays the owner as root until the

Wine checks the ownership of the $WINEPREFIX directory right? So
wouldn't touching a file in $WINEPREFIX before starting Wine work?
system.reg would be a good candidate. Alternatively, create/delete some
other file.
Yes, unfortunately unionfs displays a sort of mixed permission
structure: files are owned by the user once they are modified, but the
hosting directory name itself can't be modified in this way, which is
exactly what Wine checks.
