Reinstalling Docker under WSL (twice) and multiple reboots allowed me to run new-bccontainer. Although it showed errors at the end and hung, another reboot of the system was performed. Docker did not start without errors, though. After two more system reboots, it did.

I consider Docker on Windows an unstable platform.
