I bit the bullet and bade a backup of ~/.wine, then deleted it and ran the new 
wine executable -- that seemed to do the trick (i.e., wine started without any 
complaints about missing DLLs). Then I simply copied the Windows editor from 
the backup back into its location in the tree under ~/.wine, executed my 
normal command to edit files and presto! it all seems to be working... and I 
can move on to the next problem :-)
