I hope that Wine can be rewritten to use n-1 cores, which will leave at least one core 'open' in case of a runaway process.
Leaving one core free won't help you at all. Even with all cores exhausted you can still launch additional applications or tools. You'll get 50% of one core only[1], but that's plenty to find and kill a runaway process.
If you ever experience a totally locked system, this is clearly a bug of the OS. Ah, and please don't confuse a locked display process with a locked operating system.
