That was the point of my ref-counting - wine takes over, but cannot proceed until the ref count drops to zero. Almost certainly not nice ...

Wine needs to take over before the ref count drops to zero, else you've regressed. To match Windows kernel behaviour, you either need the Linux kernel to support wait-for-all somehow, or you need the Linux kernel to hand over the existing wait-for-any waits to Wine, so that Wine can correctly emulate the corner cases of wait-for-all.
