Interesting, it seems something on your fake Windows install crashes Wine on
startup, but is not VFAT-related. Here are some things you may try.

1) Can you transplant the segfault to a different user? That is, if you make a
tarball of /home/xeroc/.wine, and then untar this on the directory of a brand
new user, with the permissions of the new user, does the new user experience the
same segfault? If you can do this, then 
 a) you have just created a tarball to be submitted to this bug case as a
bug-trigger, and 
 b) an quick-and-dirty solution would be to move your /home/xeroc/.wine
directory somewhere else (or delete it altogether), and then reinstalling Wine
for your user.
However, such a tarball would be a very interesting thing to check.

2) If transplanting the Wine directory does not replicate the bug, then you
might want to try running fsck on the drive. Possibly there is some mangled
filename that crashes Wine on startup, and no other user is affected because
that filename does not exist on their directories.

BWT, what kind of filesystem are you using for your home directory? Some people
have reported problems with the ReiserFS journaling filesystem.
