tldr; make sure the WINE prefix is win32 based, not win64.

I had the hardest time getting it to patch, but I made a breakthrough tonight.
I'm using Fedora 13 x86_64, and wine 1.3.1 . I tried running winetricks ie6,
but it kept telling me it couldn't install on 64 bit os. I ended up
uninstalling wine.x86_64 and installing wine.i686. Even then I still had to
force it create a WINEPREFIX as win32:

WINEPREFIX=~/.wine.ff WINEARCH=win32 winecfg

I'd guess this could be a Fedora issue, as this isn't the first time it's
defaulted to creating win64 prefixes. But after that I ran:

winetricks winhttp ie6

Then ran installer as normal without issue.

After all that when I ran WINEDEBUG=+winsock wine ffxivboot.exe, I managed to
patch, login and select a character I'd created on my friend's windows
computer. 

Now to get it playable...
