VFS error - Failed to get short path - 0xFD01925-0x5

Question

Hi all,
I'm stuck and frustrated, but I'm a little out of my depth and in a complex environment. I've been experimenting with sequencing Visio 2010 on App-V 5, and it just isn't working for me.
My first attempt just threw lots of errors on the client which I can't recall or explain, but thinking I had a licensing issue I re-sequenced it with a different KMS Key to be Pro, rather than Premium. (Sorry about the useless back story...)
Now I've sequenced it, activated, and verified the correct KMS key is installed and the correct version appears to be activated. Excellent, feeling confident.
I've then imported the App-V package into SCCM 2012 and deployed it to a collection I am in. I then request and approve the application and install it.
The error: When I try to start it from the start menu, I get a simple failure message telling me helpfully that there's a failure that's probably network related. "More Details" gives me my error codes which agree with the event log.
In the event log under the VFS Subsystem log (which I turned on to troubleshoot this, thanks to
Tim Mangan and his 'Toolbelt') I get two messages;
1. ID 606: Failed to get short path from '\\?\UNC\{DFS path to my Home drive}\Application Data'
2. ID 601: Failed to load runtime configurations. Error code 0xFD01925-0x5
So I've got that it's a VFS error, and that it likely translates somewhere to 'Access is Denied'.
I have edited the package to allow it all three options on the last tab for interacting with the file system.
I have verified that my account has full control on that path both by share and NTFS.
From my reading on GetShortPathName I feel I should mention that this path is a DFS share on a 2003 server (yes yes yes, we're migrating that soon too). The {DFS path to my Home drive} is mapped as a drive letter, is there any way I can point it to that?
The workstation is Windows 7 Enterprise x64 with an i7 and lots of RAM. The SCCM server is 2012 R2, the package was sequenced on a Windows 7 VM that was created with the same image as the workstations (minus network and with the app-v sequencer not client).
Visio is 32bit to interact with Office 32bit which has 32bit plugins from external vendors.
We do use Roaming profiles and Folder Redirection in a domain environment.
Help, please?

Interesting that the issue occurs with and without AppData redirection.
With a manual import of the package, I meant via PowerShell directly on a client:
