Remember that WSL is marked as "beta". I flagged this only for the record, just in case someone had a similar experience. BTW, in my builds of emacs-25 branch I notice a more serious issue. After "M-x package-list-packages", in the Packages buffer I cannot type anything. If I do, I get, embedded in that buffer, [1]+ Stopped and the Bash prompt, as if I had typed C-z, and 'fg' seems partially resurrect Emacs, but it is unusable. I have to close WSL window. In short I cannot install packages from MELPA/ELPA with these builds. This issue is absent if I install (in WSL) the Ubuntu package emacs24-nox with apt-get... I did also a build of emacs-25 using more or less the same "configure" with which emacs24-nox is built in Ubuntu. But no good results. Ciao, Angelo.
