I've just got to grips with wine - I ran

wine cmd

and then at the prompt launched lilypond-windows.exe with a trial
lilypond file, it emitted:

which I guess is the error you saw. I see that the file

tmp-lilypond-SDTvtZ

has actually been created, of zero length and rather bizarrely the
error message said it was only needing read permission on the file.

No I've never tried to build LilyPond with mxe AFAIK, I've just copied
your lilypond files - in fact your entire zip file - and overlaid it
with a build of denemo under mxe.
(I'm assuming both Denemo and LilyPond are using guile1.8)

perhaps the --ignore-existing is a problem. If you take all the
lilypond files and then overlay them with the denemo mxe build does
that work? I do recall that the order of overlaying was important...

Either should work just fine.
