Hi,
I have the same issue on wsl-1. You could perhaps try using docker 
instead. Personally I was using guix pack -RR manifest.scm or only 1 R 
don't remember and unpacked that on WSL1 which was bothersome but might 
be another solution for you as well.

If you find a good solution for any of the WSL versions please let me 
know!

Best regards,
David
