It creates circular dependencies and an impossibility to correctly start up Wine.
Imagine for a moment that ntdll depends on foo.dll which in turn imports kernel32.
Maybe that can be worked around by having user32.dll load uxtheme.dll lazily... This way, when uxtheme.dll is loaded, user32.dll should be loaded and useable by uxtheme.dll. If for some reason uxtheme can't be loaded, no problem either, you just don't get theming.
Apparently, Wine does handle that circularity quite well. I guess as long as you don't call uxtheme code from the user32 DLL init code and/or vice versa things should work.
