One can never be sure, but I suspect this is not do to a bug but to a 
fixture.
WoW Has a all chain of checks that go up all the way to rootkit reveler 
to make sure the user is not aided by an automatic system, Given the 
player an advantage  other players do not have. The Memory layout checks 
is for making sure the program is not loaded by a Debugger of sorts. Or 
that core Dll(s) where not replaced/hooked/emulated.

It is possible that approaching Blizzard might be helpful. Is WoW 
supported by Cedega?
