Is it a serious problem using the file system type of the root?  This is
a fairly obscure problem anyway, and if you encountered a problem with a
specific application you could set up new drive letters for the specific
file systems you needed.  It's a little kludgey, but I don't see it as
being incompatible with the intent of Wine - after all, while Wine _can_
access Unix file systems, and use the features of them, it's providing
an interface to Windows which _doesn't_ understand the concept of
different file systems under a single drive.

According to MSDN, "FAT" and "NTFS" are both legitimate return values for the filesystem name from GetVolumeInformation (though it does not mention what other possibilities might also be valid). Wine hardcodes this to always return FAT (or CDROM).

Since it is hardcoded, I don't know how you would "set up new drive letters for the specific file systems you needed." An option in ~/.wine/config, on the otherhand, would make this easy.
