Please file a bug for this at http://bugs.winehq.org

Per his suggestion, I found that starting from scratch with everything (new
.wine and fresh XNEWS directory) yields a working XNEWS.  Since there is no
XNEWS install, per se, and I'd previously forced .wine to be recreated from
scratch, this shows that some XNEWS setting can cause wine (through 1.0rc4) to
lose the panel icon for the running program.  Not good, but since a completely
clean install restores order, it's not critical for me.  For others who have
more invested in an already installed program set, it might be much more
intrusive.
