Further testing reveals that the problem is caused by PulseAudio. After an
update to 1.2, I finally broke down and turned PA off in order to resolve sound
issues with another game under Wine. When that succeeded in resolving the
issues, I thought to go back and start a new, new game of Fallout 3. The sound
in the childbirth scene worked perfectly (haven't heard my first cry in like
the longest time) and the scene progressed through its dialogs and
conversations without a hitch.

I then turned PulseAudio back on and did it again; the problem re-occurred.
Exited, turned PA off again and restarted-- problem disappeared.

So whether this is a bug in Wine triggered when PulseAudio is active or whether
it's a bug in PulseAudio that cannot be solved via Wine, the workaround seems
clear-- turn off PulseAudio!

Thank you for any further clarification regarding these results.
