Might be something weird going on with that prefix then and not related to Steam itself.
Prefix is fine before mono 8.10+ was added. I'll check with a new prefix and see if mono 8.10 broke the old prefix. There was a similar breaking change to an EA client prefix due to a DLL update. Old prefixes (created with wines with mono <8.10) start fine on the other programs though.
