Has anyone encountered this on Linux and found a fix?

The issue might be caused by the outdated libraries bundled along with the game. Try removing the "lib" subfolder in the game installation directory, then install the following dependencies of the game:
libc6:i386 libasound2:i386 libasound2-data:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386 libcaca0:i386 libjpeg-turbo8:i386 libpng12-0:i386 libtiff5:i386 libncurses5:i386 libsqlite3-0:i386 libsdl1.2debian:i386 libsdl-mixer1.2:i386 libsdl-image1.2:i386 libgdiplus:i386
Should you have any other questions, please let me know or contact our support at http://support.gog.com.

I believe the game requires a very specific Mono runtime version, so installing just any version from your distribution repository will not work.
