What exactly does the error message beginning with E: mean? I assume it has to do with the file structure on Ubuntu-on-Windows, but what exactly?

It means that the Windows NT Linux Subsystem does not provide pseudo-terminals. People get this same error in vanilla Ubuntu/Debian when installing packages in changed root environments where /dev hasn't been populated with the various pseudo-terminal devices. In the Windows NT Linux Subsystem's case, they aren't there simply because the operating system kernel isn't supplying them.
The message actually comes from the apt-get command, which is invoking the dpkg command with its standard I/O attached to a pseudo-terminal. Here is the source code for where it happens. (The message has changed slightly in Ubuntu 16. The Windows NT Linux Subsystem uses an earlier version of Ubuntu by default, though.)
