I have the same issue. The workround to run wow.exe directly does the job just
fine, except.. You can not patch.  The launcher seems to hang before actually
connecting to the network to download the new content.  I think the failure to
exit the launcher is related to the network.  Perhaps it is starting a thread
to download, which hangs. But that doesn't affect the rest of the UI, so you
can still change options and exit.  The application itself, however, won't
terminate until the thread does, so you have to manually terminate it.  Anyway,
in order for the "workaround" to, well, work, you must either boot to windows
or run a VM to run the launcher and patch.

Unfortunately, I updated Ubuntu to 11.10 the same day I last patched WoW, and
before I next played, Wine updated as well. Thus I don't know which of the
three is the culprit.
