+relay,+wave shows the interesting bit of the log:

There was some activity around WODM_PREPARE in 2005, see e.g.
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2005-March/016469.html
No idea why they took that out, guess it was busted.

To work around the crash, use winecfg to disable all sound.  The
game then continues.  (It hangs with a blank screen on
my system; maybe it wants an 8 bit per pixel screen, I haven't
tried restarting X with --depth 8 yet.)

Incidentally, installing the game is a pain for two reasons:
1) the cd-rom has to be the current directory, or the
installer will silently hang; +file reveals it's looking for
a file on the cd-rom without using a drive letter or absolute path.
2) the Z order of the windows is whacked out; once you use alt-tab
to see the README window, you then have to move the readme window
out of the way before you see the installer dialog.
