Just upgraded to wine 0.9.12. It broke my XMetaL installation. It seems that wine now wants to handle ActiveX using built-in libraries, but unfortunately the new library either doesn’t implement OLE properly, or there is a bug somewhere. A quick Google search didn’t tell me anything earth-shattering but confirmed that others are having problems as well.
On the other hand, the Debian wine still lags behind; 0.9.14 is the latest version out from Wine HQ.
