Services using windows containers do not pass health check and are not working

Summary

When using windows container based services, the service health check fails with: FATAL: No HOST or PORT found. The service cannot be used. A similar job works on linux

Steps to reproduce

Run the following two jobs on a runner with executor docker-windows for the test-win job and docker for the test-lnx job.

.gitlab-ci.yml

test-win:
  services:
    - name: caddy:2.7.6-windowsservercore-ltsc2022
      alias: myservice
  image:
    name: mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2022
  script:
    - curl myservice


test-lnx:
  services:
    - name: caddy:2.7.6
      alias: myservice
  image:
    name: curlimages/curl
  script:
    - curl myservice

Actual behavior

The service on Windows does not pass the health check and the service is not available during the job execution.

Using docker ps on the build node, I can see that the service container is started and running, but it does not get the appropriate name/alias so the job container cannot reach the service container by name. This might also be the reason why the health check fails.

Expected behavior

Service is running, health check passes and is reachable from the job container like on Linux.
