Not specific to wrapped coins though. Any transaction that has part of it on the blockchain and part off the blockchain is vulnerable, by design.

Prep (send) the ON part, transact (receive) the OFF part, Revert (take back) the ON part.

You now have both the money associated to both the ON and OFF part.

That's essentially doing a transaction with a credit card and doing a charge back once you recieved the goods. Nothing new here...
