It appears that there is a package called wine on the wine-staging Debian Jessie repository that conflicts with the winehq-staging package I currently have installed. And the description of that package refers to "standard" Wine. So I assume if I remove winehq-staging and install wine, I should be able to confirm your non-staging results.
Actually, that package is the ancient wine-1.x version from vanilla Debian Jessie which should not be installed. The name of the package to be installed is actually called winehq-devel which yields wine@raven> wine --version wine-2.10 In contrast, that result when winehq-staging is installed is wine-2.10 (Staging) For the record, in the non-staging case I get the following results: wine@raven> nice -19 wine64 msys2-x86_64-20161025.exe err:ole:CoCreateInstanceEx apartment not initialised err:ole:CoCreateInstanceEx apartment not initialised err:ole:CoCreateInstanceEx apartment not initialised err:seh:setup_exception stack overflow 2240 bytes in thread 0043 eip 000000007bc949f2 esp 00000000ffe00d50 stack 0xffe00000-0xffe01000-0x100000000 wine@raven> err:seh:setup_exception stack overflow 2240 bytes in thread 004f eip 000000007bc949f2 esp 00000000ffe00d50 stack 0xffe00000-0xffe01000-0x100000000 where that stack overflow occurred after the file installation when the GUI installer launches MSYS2. In the staging case, I get the following results: wine@raven> nice -19 wine msys2-x86_64-20161025.exe err:ole:CoCreateInstanceEx apartment not initialised err:ole:CoCreateInstanceEx apartment not initialised err:ole:CoCreateInstanceEx apartment not initialised wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000020 at address 0x7bc4b478 (thread 0045), starting debugger... The installer GUI details showed the install failed (at the ~66 per cent mark) while installing nansi.sys. That failure was accompanied by Program Error GUI box with the message The program bash.exe has encountered a serious error and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. The program error details page on GUI was empty. So it appears we have at least one bug for vanilla wine-2.10 and one bug for wine-staging-2.10. For the vanilla case, the installer installs all files without issues (other then the "apartment" warnings above), but has a stack overflow when it attempts to actually start MSYS2 after the file installation. (This result demonstrates that the well-known, long-standing issues for MSYS2 on vanilla wine still exist for vanilla wine-2.10.) For the wine-staging 2.10 case the installer fails even to install the files. Presumably, that bug is caused by one of the recent wine-staging patches, but if that issue can be figured out, there is likely a good chance that MinGW-w64/MSYS2 would work on wine-staging since <https://github.com/TeaCI/tea-ci/wiki/Msys2-on-Wine> implies that procedure worked as of July 2016.
