Thanks, Anastasius. My first question is: are these dlls the same by their exports? Then Wine could just simply fake one dll with another.

The second is: couldn't that be some other bug in Wine which prevents 32autole.dll from registering "stdole32.tlb" in v2 format correctly? Of course, I could take the TLB from Wine tree and investigate this on real Windows myself.

The third question (not so personal) would be:

Couldn't ITypeLib2_Constructor_SLTG() be used (from dlls/oleaut32/typelib.c) to generate v1 format in Wine?

Here is some links I've stuck upon today that raised these questions up for me:
