Of course since this a VPN connection there really isn't a DHCP lease. If
there is a VPN connectoid (Dial-up Networking entry) you can specify the
WINS server in there. (As far as I know that means manually configuring the
connectoid on every machine

I'd put money on the fact that you haven't configured your WINS servers and
are just relying on broadcast traffic, which may well get eaten.
You need some way to make sure that all clients know how to get to the
master browser for the network. The PDC is always the master browser.
Make sure that all client machines have an entry for the WINS server on the
remote network. You may be able to hand this information out in the DHCP
lease when the incoming VPN connection is terminated.
Last resort - use an LMHOSTS file on each client. That should work.
Cheers!
