It might be a problem with the Mac driver and/or Wine's implementation of
imm32.  For esoteric reasons, the Mac driver specifically checks whether an
input method is active and, if so, routes key events differently.  I'm also not
sure what's happening after we feed the 'z' keystroke into the input method. 
For Romaji, I would expect that it would immediately tell Wine to insert a 'z'
character.  I don't know if it's not doing that or if it is and the game is not
prepared to accept that.

Could you please collect a +tid,+event,+key,+keyboard,+imm log with Romaji
enabled?  Again, just do the minimum to illustrate the problem, although it
might be instructive if you press the Return key after attempting to type a
'z'.  Thanks.
