Do you have a device node link in ~/.wine/dosdevices that points to the ISO
file?

#1 may not be easily fixed. Wine can't account for ever single irregularity in
various fuse drivers, and autodetecting a mounted image (especially one that's
not in fstab) is always a problem because it just looks like another directory.

I proposed a method for fixing #2 in comment #4.

In your #4, if the problem is fixed by making the loop device readable by your
normal user, then it's not really a problem with Wine, and it would probably be
fixed by the device node link I mentioned before.
