http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ section 10.1.5:
Consider removing the default Wine Z: drive, which maps to the unix root directory. This is only a weak defense, but it might help against some attacks.
You forgot the full context:
"... The downside to this is you won't be able to run Windows applications that aren't reachable from a Wine drive (like C: or D:), so you might have to move downloaded installers to ~/.wine/drive_c before you can run them."
Which is exactly the case of this bug.
Since when was the gecko installer a Windows application?
