Mac version of Spore uses Cider, which one is based on wine code. Inside the spore.app file, there is a c_drive, just like wine.
Do you think cider's version of Spore is different than Windows one? Do you think they changed cider to run the game or changed the game to run on cider?
No, MAC users are experiencing the same issues as well - bright galaxy and no UI. We both experience the same bug, so there is definitely an issue.
Some have had very limited success by altering a file in spore, or a registry entry, neither worked for me.

I don't believe you're completely correct; I can't speak for all mac users, but I am able to run the Spore Creature Creator trial with no problems on my MacBook Air. I am aware that Spore on Mac is unsupported on some video cards, but that there is a workaround (see tuaw's June 17th article)
