It is easy to miss as it requires:
- Fresh install of Wine (via PackageKit or yum install) and
- Old 32-bit WINEPREFIX.

An update of Wine will pull the packages from the same arch aka i586 and
thus the problem won't be visible for the people that just update their
packages. That explains the limited outcry considering the impact of the
problem.
