And using winecfg to emulate a virtual desktop does not change this behavior. And then, 60 seconds later, the application just dies. The fact that it no longer receives any mouse input, also means that DNS's own settings can't be changed, and microphone input never gets switched on.

Before filing a bug report, you might try compiling the latest wine version from git, and see if the problem has already been resolved. At some point I had a similar problem to yours with DNS 10 Standard, but it seems to have been taken care of.
