I can verify that this is also the case for wine-20040615.
If I have a symlink in ~/.wine/dosdevices that points to a directory that is listed in /etc/fstab, then some applications are unable to open that drive in their file open/save dialogues (notably, word2k and excel2k).
Unfortunatley I don't have word or excel installed. Just using notepad, I do not see any problem.
Can you try with notepad or find some other similar small application?
