Assuming everything worked OK last July, there is a possibility that
this wine-staging bug is recently introduced.  So I downgraded
the winehq-staging package and all its dependencies to the earliest
version available (2.4.0-3~jessie) in the Debian Jessie winehq
repository, but that made zero difference.  That is, I replicated
the exact results above including the last file mentioned in the
installer GUI details being nansi.sys.

So it is obviously time for me to transcribe and reorganize these
results as an official wine-staging bug report.
