DavidForthoffer, you are not in the John Nunn league on that; it is better left to specialists - Nunn et al - extracting *meaningful* info from tablebases...
The 2002 edition of Secrets of Pawnless Enings by J Nunn indicates that these are won by the queen, isn't this exactly what Forthoffer indicated?
Point taken, crow eaten, egg on face, sorry for posting without checking up, etc....

But, yes, it is possible for white to win against all defenses, including ...Be6.
