It's a fresh install of Qubes 4 with freshly downloaded/installed Whonix 14/DVM templates using the salt/qubesctl command mentioned above and in the documentation. No customisations. So I doubt reinstalling would have any effect. Whonix-ws-14 template works perfectly fine for running apps the normal way, from AppVMs based upon it. No issue whatsoever. Only running them from whonix-ws-14-dvm causes trouble. However as I said, even trying to run apps from Fedora-26-dvm also fails the majority of the time, so I'm not even convinced it's a whonix specific issue. Rather a DVM one in general.
