That's pretty weird. I've seen a few related bugs like that, where it
seems like WSL will drop packets that don't meet some unusual stateful
criteria. I don't know if they're trying to do some kind of connection
tracking, or if the routing logic is partially broken for NdisMediumIP
devices.

I assume you're experiencing this using the latest WireGuard 0.3 [1]?

To answer your direct question, though, I think this might be a WSL
problem rather than a WireGuard problem. If that Github issue doesn't
get any attention after some time, I can try to reverse engineer the
hyper-v networking drivers to see what's going on, but as always with
that kind of thing, no guarantees on its success.
