Part of terminal output

After installing Steam on a drive that is set to be "Local hard disk"[1], many
of its games fail to complete installation, along with other issues.
With this, many games[2] on steam start suffering from an issue nearly
identical to bug #20910
Also, this appears to be the underlying cause of bugs #32894 and #32895

How to reproduce:
1. Make a new wine prefix.
2. Add a new drive
3. Select the new drive and set its type to "Local hard disk"
4. Install Steam on the said drive
5. Install any of the listed games[2]
6. Run the game and it fails to start due to a problem nearly identical to Bug
#20910

Attaching only the part of terminal output which is present in with this bug
triggered, but doesn't appear on "working" steam. Everything else is identical.

What's interesting - setting the drive type back to "autodetect" and then
completely reinstalling steam doesn't make it work - the "new" Steam
installation has the same issues nonetheless. As if the prefix itself gets
incurably tainted. Thus, triggering this issue requires a new prefix to solve.

[1] winecfg => Drives => Show Advanced => Type => set to "Local hard disk"
[2] Games confirmed by me to get affected: Serious Sam HD: The Second
Encounter; Counter Strike: Global Offensive; Left 4 Dead 2; Though it seems all
the Source engine games are affected.

Note #1: Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter DEMO can also be used to trigger.
Note #2: If someone would give me a hint where to start, I'd try to fix this
myself.
