The issue was WSL (the installation still would not work on R-devel/R-patched). I have now installed WSL2 and the installation worked straight away.

If you haven't done that already, you can try with the latest
R-devel/R-patched. A similar issue has been reported earlier for
virtualized environments where the move operation was not working
properly, so R now falls back to copying.
But please be aware that R is currently not being tested/supported on
WSL, you would likely run into more problems, it is not the same as
running natively on Debian.
