It's better to use the NT-hosted compilers in %WATCOM%\BINNT. DPMI
support in the Windows NT family isn't very good (and non-existent in
64-bit Windows).

The example in build.bat with %WATCOM%\BINW in the PATH is geared
towards building FreeDOS in real (Free)DOS.

sure I've done it many times. However, I still haven't been able to
reproduce the data corruption bug you reported, and could not find any
file start cluster 32->16bit truncation in the source code :(
If there exists a batch file that could reproduce it (which includes
formatting the hard disk partition, putting files on it, and
information about the size), that would be most welcome -- from your
info I'd assume that once the disk is full enough to go over 64k
clusters some corruption should occur, but I did not see it happening.
