The one in maverick (2.6.35-*) does let you play wow.
At least for me it turned out the bug was not this one reported here, but
rather http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24193

As a workaround I turn off (0) this new ubuntu security feature before WoW and
switch it back on afterwards (1).

(as root)
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope

Disabling security features is not as bad as it sounds.
Vanilla 2.6.35 does not contain it.
Everything before 2.6.35 doesn't as well.
So you will be "as secure as lucid" so to speak.
