Does WINE even run in OSX anyway? I thought it didn't...
EDIT: Come to think of it, wouldn't WINE for OSX hurt Apple as well, since that goes back to the whole "Devs don't want to develop for OSX" debate in some other thread...?
I would think that having the ability to run OSX apps on windows would be a bad thing. There wouldn't be any reason for windows users to switch over to OSX if they could run the newest nifty OSX programs.

Sure there would...it's called Mac OSX.
Just because the apps might run on Windows, doesn't mean they would run as well. Stability and security will still be issues. Also, industrial design would still be superior on Macs.

It could certainly hurt Apple's attempts to get OSX native apps written by developers, and I think is a serious concern.
