So, wineprefixcreate fixed it...  I've never heard of wineprefixcreate!!:

I installed wine originally through Gentoo's ebuild.

Should wineprefixcreate be run by default if you start wine, and there's no
~/.wine directory?

at a guess, judging by the JVM log,
com.mathworks.installer.Win32.GetShortCutTarget didn't like the fact that it
couldn't find directories to put its shortcuts into, and threw a fatal
exception, naturally (?!?!)
