Possible code bug causing crash on Wine/Linux

Question

As I am running Linux, I don't expect support as such but thought I would offer a possible contribution to the beta program as follows:
When starting Safari under Wine (an implementation of the Win32 API) on Linux, I get the following debug message:
DIB_GetBitmapInfo (44): unknown/wrong size for header
What I understand this to mean is that the Windows function GetBitmapInfo is being passed a dodgy parameter.
This is followed by a crash for me, but I guess on Windows, is quietly ignored.
I have seen a report on CodeProject regarding an identical crash caused by a coder setting the biSize member of the bmiHeader (BITMAPHEADERINFO) element of a BITMAPINFO structure to the incorrect size. In the example given, it had been set to sizeof(BITMAPINFO) rather than sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER)
e.g.
bmpInfo.bmiHeader.biSize = sizeof (BITMAPINFO);
instead of
bmpInfo.bmiHeader.biSize = sizeof (BITMAPINFOHEADER);
For any devs. interested as to whether there may be a bug, the call stack generated by Wine, showing the offsets from the base address of coregraphics.dll (loaded at 0x6b000000) is as follows, with the crash actaully occurring at '=> 1'
Backtrace:
=>1 0x6b262e97 in coregraphics (+0x262e97) (0x0033ed38)
2 0x6b0f9da4 in coregraphics (+0xf9da4) (0x0033f31c)
3 0x6b1e0fff in coregraphics (+0x1e0fff) (0x0033f4bc)
4 0x6b1d19ee in coregraphics (+0x1d19ee) (0x0033f578)
As I say, I'm not expecting any feedback on this - I'm just being neighbourly I also fully accept that I may be completely wrong in my assessment of the issue.

There was an even earlier build than the two mentioned.
Talk about "early revisions" I guess so, and it doesn't look like there will be a unified version tomorrow.
I recall AYM had a note about video performance and in that instance, the build on the DVD was never than what was on the hard drive and within a week or so disk drives carried the "new, improved" video on disk as well.
There may be other changes that go hand-in-hand other than build, too. Did they look at the Boot ROM and SMC Version of the systems?
Boot ROM Version: MP11.005C.B00
SMC Version: 1.7f6
