Does this mean that Transgaming have taken a GPL project (wine), produced
WineX and have placed restrictions on its distribution in a totally non-gpl
compliant way?

If they have, then it's perfectly within your rights to do what you want
with their wineX. They broke the license so they don't have any rights to
add anything more to the license. 

No source code on a GPL derived project == open invite to legal "pirating"
AFIAC.

Or did they get the Wine team to grant them exclusive rights to release
under a different license?
