Answer
It’s a bug caused by an incompatible glibc call involving CLOCK_REALTIME in WSL.
From bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/htop/+bug/1871129:
The issue is happening because WSL is currently not POSIX compliant and any call to glibc that uses CLOCK_REALTIME will fail with EINVAL (-1) (such as clock_gettime() or clock_nanosleep()). It is likely that a glibc change has made this to appear (instead of the htop different version).
