Looks like this bug is invalid.  I think Vitamin was right,
all you need to do is set WINEPREFIX.  (Yes, strings shows
unix paths in the .lnk files, but I don't think they're used;
winedump will show you an ascii dump of the .lnk file,
and it doesn't show any unix path info.)
To verify this, I did
  install iTunes
  mv .wine .wine-foo
  WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine-foo  wine start Desktop/iTunes.lnk
it works just fine.
