I think I finally got a bit of a clue.  The OSB Windows builds use  
mingw, so can't use QTWebEngine.  However, trying to use QtWebKit  
(building either libalimia or kmymoney) it errors out with:

buildinfo is broken... it says:
unresolvable: nothing provides mingw64(icui18n56.dll) needed by  
mingw64-libqt5-qtwebkit
       nothing provides mingw64(icuuc56.dll) needed by  
mingw64-libqt5-qtwebkit

These are the same errors I see looking at the OBS pages.

Lots of searching suggests that the problem is a version mismatch  
between libqt5-qtwebkit and whatever package contains the icu  
libraries.  However, while learning my way around zypper and yast, it  
looks like I had package mingw64-libicu61 installed from the mingw  
repository.  Explicitly deleting that package (and the associated  
-devel one) has allowed the build to progress.  I believe (but at this  
point am no longer certain) I had explicitly added the mingw64-libicu61  
repository, so I don't know if this discovery can help with the actual  
OSB server configuration.
