For sure it would not be needed, but as for Wines regedit I am not sure.  
AFAIK, it can only read NT-system registry, but not write it.

You can always try using Offline NT Password & Registry Editor.  It uses
console UI and is more of command line editing, but whatever [1].

BTW, you or someone else can try merging both the ntreg library [1] and
Wine registry editor code to make a GUI tool to suffice your needs.  I
hope there would be no license [2] collisions.
