Yeah, I've actually noticed that same thing happening too, but
the
trouble is that wine_mmap_zero_ignore is set to "on" already on my
machine.

could you add outputs of following commands
# ausearch -m avc -su wine_t -o wine_t
# sesearch --dontaudit -s wine_t -t wine_t -c memprotect -p mmap_zero
# getsebool wine_mmap_zero_ignore

There had been no problems on a Fedora 13 x86_64 machine till I
installed this program. I have not done anything yet. The
program runs, but I am hesitant to do anything; therefore I ask
for your guidance as to what should I do?

Good call. Wine does not always really need this permission. Only
when one runs older windows applications is it that one may notice
loss in functionality.
There is a boolean that one can toggle to silently deny this
access vector:
setsebool -P wine_mmap_zero_ignore on
Again, This will not allow wine to mmap low (which is a dangerous
ability), but instead it will hide attempt by wine to do so.
