There is even a bug report for this:

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13646

It looks like the SetMaterial with a NULL argument is only permitted (read, 
doesn't crash) on ddraw.

Some patches were sent for this in the past as well but that was before 1.0 and 
were held back because of that.
