So, I figured out a workaround, but I'm not sure what it does for browser security... Adding iexplore.exe (Internet Explorer) to the FEATURE_LOCALMACHINE_LOCKDOWN, with the value 0, seems to let DQSD work fine. comx runs without hitches, and so does the help window (which also suffers from an InfoBar without it). I believe this is because most of DQSD runs inside explorer.exe (while it's hosted in the taskbar), but some parts start up a new IE instance, which brings iexplore.exe into the picture. While this makes DQSD run smoothly, it also opens up IE to the problems that SP2 was designed to solve [1]. I don't know to what extent "the Local Machine zone is used as an attack vector to load malicious HTML code" [1], but I hate to tell people to lower their security bar in order to run DQSD. Currently, this seems to be the only solution, though.
