You need to raise ulimit for files (see http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=21080 ). The demo ships it's own version of the d3dx9_27.dll, normally the game works with that. If that's not the case it's probably a bug in the intel driver. With nvidia it works fine here.
The game uses asci effects, so it could be a while til it works. fixme:d3dx:D3DXCreateEffectEx (0x1380e8, 0x3d0000, 3412, 0x456d678, (nil), (nil), 0, 0x4e0ba18, 0x36ff180, 0x36ff154): semi-stub fixme:d3dx:d3dx9_base_effect_init HLSL ascii effects not supported, yet
