It should work just fine in Wine. Up to a point it does - which means that something is getting corrupted over time (since it plays well for a spell). I like to figure out the reasons things don't work. Right now I am going with a need to upgrade the wine wrapper (have the latest one for now).
I have already fixed mouse issues and full screen issues with it. I don't have this problem with any other game (and I run a windows version of a WOW server and wow itself just fine) and since even the windows version (in Alpha 5) has known multiplayer problems I plan on sticking with the 4.1 (which did have other issues like 5 does now but was fixed with a dll upgrade).
One would hope the developers work on such bugs . Being a developer myself I enjoy the hunt for core solutions and not band aids.
But sound advice in general for those with similar issues.
