I think some application (or possibly some configuration in WINE) is causing something to be left or set incorrectly, which causes WINE to fail on subsequent launches.

I keep the ~/.wine/c_drive folder from the old one and move it to the new copy of ~/.wine which protects me from having to reinstall everything each time.  (I'm confident this does not bring the problem along, though, because WINE works for a while -- different applications -- after re-importing the c_drive folder.)

If keeping your drive_c doesn't cause problems, it seems to be
something in the registry. Can you try backing up a clean copy of the
registry (~/.wine/{user,userdef,system}.reg) and then once you have a
corrupted copy, running diff to see what exactly is getting corrupted?
