This is nothing to do with Wine.  Wine is an X application, subject to
the same X rules as any other X application.  If root _has_ to run wine
for this (I don't know winesetup, I was building wine before any of the
convenience and package tools were developed, and it still works for
me), (tilleyrw should exit from X) and root should start X itself (or
log in itself, if you use GUI login).  That is the simplest way I know.
Otherwise, have a nice long recursive read of man xauth.

The rest is probably just fallout from the first failure.

No.  Maybe Debian has changed its X security policy.
