--- Comment #2 from Alex Folland <lexlexlex at gmail.com> ---
Your comment and Fabian's comment in the bug report you linked pointed me in
the right direction for a personal-use workaround.

I have an updated copy of Windows 7 64-bit from which I can use system DLLs.  I
copied the following DLLs from my Windows drive to
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/ and renamed them to lower-case versions, then
set them to be used as overrides in winecfg:

-C:\Windows\System32\UIRibbon.dll
-C:\Windows\System32\UIRibbonRes.dll
-C:\Windows\System32\uxtheme.dll
-C:\Windows\System32\propsys.dll

Once this was done, TortoiseMerge opened in wine without any apparent issues.

This workaround involves using proprietary non-free DLLs, so it's not a
permanent solution for everyone, but it works for my personal usage.
