This is not a bug in wine, but a "feature" in Battle.net.  They check your copy 
of starcraft.exe (or the brod wars executable) to see if it is cracked or 
not..  Since yours is, it tells you that it is unable to determine the 
application version.  You have a couple of options..

1) Go buy a new CD..  This isnt always the most feasible, but if you have the 
money to blow, why not?
2) Go buy a Game Doctor/Skip Doctor/Disc Doctor/etc..  This is a scratch repair 
kit that truely works.  It uses a layer of water and a wheel to fill in the 
scratches on the surface of the disc..  You can get it at Best Buy.  Word of 
caution on this one:  It makes the surface of the disc a little hazy (from the 
water) so if you have an older CD Drive (anything slower than a 36x), dont use 
this one because it wont be able to read the cd..
3) Find the bnet loader..  This is probably the best option if you want to 
continue using the patched version.  There are a couple of sites you can get 
this from, but I cant list them here for legal reasons..  Just email me..  Only 
problem with this option is that the bnet loader doesnt work under wine (yet), 
so get that if you are running windows and/or the one I'm about to list..
4) Linux-based bnet loader..  This was originally made by me, but since I lost 
the computer that it was on, I dont have it anymore.  If you know bash 
scripting, I can tell you how to make it again, if not, you will need to find 
someone that does, and have them email me, just ask around on the wine-devel 
list.

My email is above this post (click or hover the mouse over my name), any other 
comments or questions just email me, no need to flood the wine bugs list with 
unrelated stuff..
