I included the required libxml2-devel i386 rpm on my system and then rebuilt my wine release from existing 1.1.30 source code I already had. Now the install of WMP9 using winetricks works and my game install is proceeding along further.
So it appears that having support for xml2 in your build of wine is critical the WMP9 install.
Yes, libxml2 is necessary for the msxml* implementations in Wine. Those dlls are in turn necessary for many programs to run, so don't build Wine without libxml2 support unless you know what you're doing.
