This is still the case as of the latest Wine (1.1.5). In an attempt to help resolve this issue, I'll also post any needed logs upon request.
I would also like to add this is better suited to be listed as a 'normal' bug rather than an 'enhancement'. The game is unplayable without character images being used for the fight sequences - this is far from just a simple "enhancement".
