Hi Pavel, I've ran into similar issues when, for example, I've got more than 64GB free space on the partition, and the old Win installers just told me there was -1 bytes free. I'd vote for some Wine (or 3rd party tool) functionality that would decrease the reported bytes available per user's request.
As a temporary solution for such problems, I've used a small partition for installation with just 2GBs free and it worked for me. I've then moved the wineprefix into the target partition.
