Would it be OK, having won a competition or an award but subsequently disqualified, to claim to be 'Winner of the X award (later disqualified)'? After all, the disqualification came after the success and the work submitted must have had some merit.

Er, I would say no. It's a little dishonourable, don't you think? Sometimes the merit of the work done - whether that be in the arts, sport or wherever - really can be overshadowed by the actions surrounding it.
