Thank you, this is a known issue with ubuntu 24.04, because there's already a UID=1000 before the WSL user is created, so the WSL user gets a different UID, which breaks wslg's expectation and leads to errors like the one you're seeing.
We've contacted the distribution maintainer to see if the UID can be fixed from their end
Seems there is an default "ubuntu" user with Ubuntu-24.04 with id 1000, user created with installation have id 1002.
$ id 1000 uid=1000(ubuntu) gid=1001(ubuntu) groups=1001(ubuntu),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),1000(lxd)
if i switch to that user i could run podman info, but this is not expected
$ sudo -i
# su - ubuntu
$ podman info

As a workaround you can install Ubuntu not from the Microsoft Store, but via wsl --import and get the image archive from here: https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/wsl/
This way there is no prompt for creation of a new user. Note that things like Windows Terminal profile won't be added automatically.

This might be why I have a command entry in my /etc/wsl.conf
[boot]
systemd=true
command = mount --make-rshared /
@Stelminator that will fix the problem/message with "WARN[0000] "/" is not a shared mount" but not the real issue which we have, and thus that there is already user in rootfs image (at lease in 20240508 release from the link which @trallnag posted). And thus when the installer prompts for User creation the new user gets id 1002 and can not execute the "podman info" command as seen in first post.
@OneBlue any replay from distribution maintainer?
