--- Comment #5 from dopey@moonteeth.com --- Yup. The crossover equivalent of winetricks vcrun2005 (simply installing the MS VC++ 2005 runtime via crossover's ui) made the problem go away.
I haven't tried in a non-crossover wine instance, but I can't imagine why it would be any different.
I assume this means something changed with the builtin 2005 vc runtime that broke compatibility with this but simply replacing it with a "real" one allowed this to work. Is that right?
