We run with all clients DHCPed, including DNS and WINS addresses with no
problems.

I assume the WINS server addresses you are giving through DHCP are the
same as you are testing the fixed WINS address?

check a client just after boot and do an "ipconfig /all" or winipconfig
and check that the wins and DNS addresses are showing up correctly.

Add the samba server as a static entry in WINS.

Check that if you have multiple WINS servers they are synced.

Good luck.
