I would imagine that line is done by the copper - you see similar results in many demos if you use a window size that is bigger than what you need - for example, if you run fullscreen 800x600, then all copperlists should extend all the way on both sides of the screen. Just go into your display settings in WinUAE and set the window size to 360x240 for NTSC or 360x288 for PAL - these are numbers I calculated by taking a 720x480 or 720x576 display (which is about as close as you're likely going to get to a real Amiga), and halving it in both directions.
I don't think it would be easy to make games run in higher resolutions, since you'd have to do it on a game-by-game basis, by hacking the games. The only reason you see the line extend that far out, and the whole window flashes, is because that's color 0, and I believe that color 0 is extended to all edges of the window (since the Amiga really doesn't have one set 'native' resolution like many systems do, WinUAE needs to be more flexible in it's screen handling code).
