I didn't analyse anything just yet but it just hit me that the crash-on-login
is likely due to warden looking around the game.

Seeing as Warden is a different process than wow; with your solution, it would
have the same grandparent (wineserver), but would it be looking at WoW's memory
(a sister process) or wineserver's memory?
Wouldn't it still crash if it looked at WoW's memory?
