Just did a clean 32-bit Windows XP wineprefix install of Steam and DoW2 using Wine 1.7.51. Tested for 5 minutes, and the game worked like native without any modifications or DLL overrides. At a glance, that's probably worth a Platinum score.
Then I did the same thing (another new clean wineprefix) for DoW2 Retribution, and that launched and ran too. No graphics though, but I could hear the sound. I didn't try using the native d3dx9_36, but that's another bug.
So no more bug splats; I think this can be marked as fixed, although it's not clear if it was the game update or Wine that resolved it.
