And "guessing" may have been a little hyperbolic as the cty.dat file
has been very reliable and quickly updated. Just that prefix->country
isn't 100% reliable and why it does get updated. And what about
compound calls? I think it only uses the beginning prefix, right?

HI Mike,
have you tried enabling "Settings->General->Show DXCC entity and worked
before status" without a cty.dat file in the %LOCALAPPDATA%\WSJT-X
directory? You will find it works just fine. The default cty.dat file is
installed in the internal resources area of the WSJT-X application, that
way it is not possible for users to inadvertently delete or rename it
and break the functionality.
Do you have an example where a trailing prefix is not assigned
correctly? Note that only standard format CQ and QRZ messages have
entity names associated, not free text messages.
