Still there with 3.22.5-1.

What's strange is that this only happens with wine, but not with
wine-development, although both are identical here besides their
AppStream id and name.

While testing I indeed had placed the files manually somewhere (maybe
only the one for wine, but not that for wine-development), but removed
them since. With all wine packages uninstalled:

$ ls /usr/share/applications/*wine*
ls: cannot access '/usr/share/applications/*wine*': No such file or
directory

$ ls /usr/share/metainfo
org.freedesktop.appstream.cli.metainfo.xml

$ ls /var/cache/app-info/xmls/
fwupd.xml
