Waydroid fails to start

Here's the error I get:

# waydroid session start
[15:58:33] RuntimeError: Command failed: % /usr/lib/waydroid/data/scripts/waydroid-net.sh start

I am not sure where I can see any logs, but I did some print-debugging in waydroid-net.sh and found that the following nft command produces an issue:
(around line 129 in /usr/lib/waydroid/data/scripts/waydroid-net.sh)

    NFT_RULESET="${NFT_RULESET};
add table inet lxc;
flush table inet lxc;
add chain inet lxc input { type filter hook input priority 0; };
add rule inet lxc input iifname ${LXC_BRIDGE} udp dport { 53, 67 } accept;
add rule inet lxc input iifname ${LXC_BRIDGE} tcp dport { 53, 67 } accept;
add chain inet lxc forward { type filter hook forward priority 0; };
add rule inet lxc forward iifname ${LXC_BRIDGE} accept;
add rule inet lxc forward oifname ${LXC_BRIDGE} accept;
add table ip lxc;
flush table ip lxc;
add chain ip lxc postrouting { type nat hook postrouting priority 100; };
add rule ip lxc postrouting ip saddr ${LXC_NETWORK} ip daddr != ${LXC_NETWORK} counter masquerade"
    nft "${NFT_RULESET}"

Specifically, every nft rule works fine until I stumble into the second to last:

# nft add chain ip lxc test '{ type nat hook postrouting priority 100; }'
Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory
add chain ip lxc test { type nat hook postrouting priority srcnat; }
                             ^^^

Any ideas how to proceed?

It is gnome, running on wayland.
The waydroid version is 1.6.1
