Interesting...
...so cd'd into a directory with simpl LP files and there issued
wsl -e lilypond -- voice-choir-satb.ly
and it worked!
[upon reading further I realize, you already wrote that]

Note:
I already had the linux version of LP installed on my maschine and sometimes 
use it from within a WSL bash shell.

[stuff on paths and mount points snipped]

I think that should not be a problem since Frescobaldi composes the cmdline 
anyway and does know all the bits and pieces. After all on windows Frescobaldi 
invokes the windows version of lily in a separate process already.

That's exactly my main use of WSL too.
