This is already the case. The current implementation automatically
falls back to TMPDIR if /run/user/$UID does not exist. It also
automatically handles creation of the wine subdirectory if it does not
exist.
There may corner cases that are yet unhandled, can you better define
the problem you've actually seen?

There is discussion in the upstream bug about the extra concerns that
would need to be handled to support XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. At this time, I
plan to wait for upstream to decide how to handle that. In the
meantime, it will not be supported.

What was the actual error?
