Because of the complexity of the applications, number of files, and
built-in updaters, I can't predict which files need to be modified so
I have to assume all of them.

Ownership handled the same as permissions?
I tried an ext2 image. It worked but is complicated to set up as I
have to accurately determine the size of the application files when
creating it else it either doesn't have enough space or wastes space.
I tried squashfs and found it was much easier to create as the
mksquashfs tool takes the source directory, compresses it as it reads
and writes it to the image file (which it creates). Plus it saves
space with compression although only a little with Diablo II as its
media files are already compressed (2GB vs. 2.3GB).
find /srv/wine/wine-Diablo_II -type d -exec chmod ugo+rwX '{}' \;
find /srv/wine/wine-Diablo_II -type f -exec chmod ugo+rwX '{}' \;
mksquashfs /srv/wine/.wine-Diablo_II /srv/wine/Diablo_II-sqfs.img
mount /srv/wine/Diablo_II-sqfs.img /srv/wine/wine-Diablo_II-sqfs -t
squashfs -o ro,loop
mount -v -t aufs -o
br:/home/administrator/.wine-Diablo_II_rw=rw:/srv/wine/wine-Diablo_II-sqfs=ro
none /home/administrator/.wine-Diablo_II
Gnome gvfs doesn't show the mounted squash file so I avoid that bug as well.
This solves my problem. Thanks!
