So it stopped crashing? Did you try in a clean prefix before installing ie8? If not please try again, it's important to test without any winetricks stuff and check if the original stack overflow does not happen after update.
Bug 22152 talks about wine not being able to run pando-based installers.
Crash! See attachment. It also crashed with IE8. It just got a little furtherer.
