This always happened to me.
just execute:
wine [directory of StarCraft II]/Support/SC2Switcher.exe
and it'll work.
Or kill the "StarCraft II.exe" and re-double click the SC2 icon...
In any case, if you want to execute it straight away, use the switcher (SC2Switcher.exe under the Support directory where you did install SC2).

I'm having what seems to be exactly the same problem. I had everything working very well from the beginning of the beta until October 2010 with a wine-1.2 rc; I stopped playing for a while and when I came back, the game didn't work.
Immediately upon starting the game for the first time after installing, the patcher downloads and applies the most recent tools update. When BlizzardUpdater finishes, the launcher quits and attempts to restart. I see the following:
and an "ACCESS VIOLATION" message with lots of debugging information pops up in wine.
I get the same result with wine-1.3.14 and wine-1.2.1.
I also tested kernels 2.6.36 and 2.6.37.
I'm running Gentoo amd64. GPU is an nvidia 7600GT with nvidia-drivers-260.19.29.
