Following the comment 13, this bug should be renamed in "Fallout needs a d3dx9_38 dll". This would make clear what the wine developpers need to do to fix this bug.
It is a quite easy task.

To get past the New Game crash edit Documents/My Games/FALLOUT.INI and set bUseFaceGenHeads=0
You'll be able to see the intro movie, your birth, customize your character and take your first steps. All characters won't have any heads and the game is very likely to crash soon after that.
The reason that Fallout3 crashes when starting a new game is that some of the shader effects added require SM 2.0 B or higher. Oblivion only required SM 2.0. Windows users with Radeon 9x00 cards or Intel 965 chipsets have similar crashes.
There's an effort over at http://www.oldblivion.com/sm/index.php?topic=5831.0 to rewrite Fallouts shader effects to SM 2.0, much in the same way as was done with OldOblivion.
