This is not a bug in Python, but either intentional, or a bug in Windows. Processing of Wow64Node is done by Windows, see 

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa384253(v=vs.85).aspx

As you can see, the SOFTWARE key is redirected in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, but shared in HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

If you think that absolutely something must be done, I would suggest to remove the "install for current user" feature altogether - it has too many flaws imposed by Windows.
