Research direction
Reproduce the flow in Storage Explorer: create a blob container from the VS Code storage extension, then choose “Open Azure Account from Storage Explorer” on it. Start by tracing the open-account action and its cached-container lookup; done means a newly created container is discovered and shown instead of producing the reported error.
