I have just encountered the same issue, attempting to install Office 2007
Enterprise under Fedora 14, 64-bit, and Wine 1.3.14-2, 64-bit.
So yes, I believe this is still an issue.

After false starts using the install procedure documented elsewhere, I used the
procedure for Office 2007 Installer from the AppDB. The install completed, but
user-specific setup did not complete, ultimately ending in a truncated error
message regarding Building Blocks.dotx.

I completely uninstalled Wine, and re-installed the 32-bit version.

The Office install completed (mine was stripped down to Word only, and no
.Net support), and on running Word I have reached the software activation
screen. (There it's failing Internet activation; I may simply activate by
phone and skip the troubleshooting steps...)

So, if you don't have a need for 64-bit Windows apps, I'd suggest trying
the 32-bit approach.
