Please try the wine1.4 package from the winehq PPA for 12.04, it contains a workaround patch now. I will be uploading it to Precise-updates soon if it works.
A week ago I tried, sadly, I even couldn't install some applications on that version. Looking forward to fixing that in 1.5.6, it's quite annoying to write stuff in the terminal after each reboot to play MTA San Andreas.
