What works
Everything. At least the things are most important work. Game is totally playable. Mouse is also captured correctly. I'm playing the version available at gog.com.
What does not
The other things that were mentioned previously (health bars, poison indicators) might not work. But I don't have anything to compare them to.
Workarounds
What was not tested
Extra campaigns, registration, adventure editor. I'm just playing the main campaign.

Additional Comments
Had some problems with previous versions: 1.2.3 - the stable version ATM of testing from Mac Ports. Installed wine-devel which is 1.3.20 and didn't have to change anything to make it work. Besides that had to install dx9 with winetricks and the virtual c library which has been mentioned here before.

If you are hit by bug #34052 (invisible character models), or flickering, set this key in the registry as a workaround (it happens on closed Nvidia driver, and to some on Mesa / Intel. It didn't happen to me with Mesa / radeonsi):
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D] CheckFloatConstants="enabled"
Another similar issue is bug #46553 when some textures turn black indoors. For now, install d3dx9_35 native override to work around that.

`winetricks -q ie6`
You need a 32-bit wineprefix for it to install, though.
