I think it expects you to use a standardized device name structure such as wg0 however it doesn’t exactly (or rather clearly) enforce this, and it tries to name the new device whatever the file is named during the import step.
This problem is somewhat compounded by VPN providers, who often generate some long filename when you export a WG config.
