Yes, networking must work, otherwise
running windows would be useless.

This is very risky.
I set up dosemu on tap0, without giving
it root. Then I added this to my iptables
configuration:
---
*nat
-A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
COMMIT
---
(eth0 is connected to Internet),
and configured winsock.

Which ones crash it?

With 3.04 Gold I had no problems accessing
everything. Works flawlessly. Perhaps when
you set dosemu to use eth0, something else
also reads it, and that's why you have the
lost packets.
If you set up everything on the TAP interface
and establish the masquerading, then you'll
get the much better results. Don't forget to
write 1 to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
