Docker checkpoint fails with SQL Server container

After starting a Microsoft SQL Server (on Linux) container from scratch...

$ docker run -e 'ACCEPT_EULA=Y' -e 'SA_PASSWORD=Pa$$word' -p 1433:1433 \
            -d --name mssql microsoft/mssql-server-linux

... creating a Docker checkpoint ...

$ docker checkpoint create mssql cp1

... fails:

Error response from daemon: Cannot checkpoint container mssql: 
failed to read checkpoint reader: 
open /var/lib/docker/containers/f2eb8d17e95630332bbeab887b9e03a1b91efcd8907f69b82805a788331316e2/checkpoints/cp1/cgroup.img: 
no such file or directory

This is on Ubuntu 18.04, with CRIU installed and experimental mode enabled:

Checkpointing other containers works fine, only running into this with the SQL image.

Am I missing anything, or is this likely just a bug with docker checkpoint (which is currently an experimental feature)?

Solution

As of Docker 19.03.1, this no longer appears to be a problem.
