garbled Quicken Registration dialog

I installed Wine 1.01 on Kubuntu 9.04 amd-64 and installed Quicken 2008 from
CD-ROM.  The installation failed in the online update.

I then installed wine-1.1.26 from the PPA http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt
I did not install any of the WineTricks mentioned on the AppDB

When I ran Quicken 2008, I got a prompt about going online to register.  When I
followed that, the Quicken Registration dialog appeared, but apart from a
banner 
 "Welcome to Quicken registration..."
it was full of gibberish characters as if the encoding is wrong.  I will attach
a screenshot.

As you can see, the status line of the dialog window contains
  file://C:\windows\profiles\All Users\Applicataion
Data\Intuit\Quicken\INET\COMMON\PNF\REG\4A5E9E00.H
This file exists on my drive C: with slightly different capitalization at the
end -- Inet\Common\Pnf\Reg\4A5E9E00.HTM

I can open this file and it appears fine in my Linux Firefox browser and text
editor; not garbled at all, no UTF characters.  It seems to hold the HTML for
all the stages of the registration process; in working Quicken you don't see
all of this HTML at once.

This bug sounds like what SpinDr describes in comment 9 of bug 14672.  I am
reporting a separate bug because that bug is "I am not presented with the box".
 I get the box, but it's garbled.

I'm happy to attempt to debug this further; alas my log with WINEDEBUG=+relay
filled my disk and I had to remove it, and now I don't know how to get back to
the registration dialog because I used the trick of Shift+Ctrl "One Step
Update" to turn off registration!
