I finally got round to looking at this again, and have found the fix. In case 
anybody else has the same problem, here is the solution.

In run.sh, remove the parameter ":rw,z" from docker's -v option. Read-write is 
the default mount option anyway.

It isn't clear why my version of docker doesn't work with either :rw or :rw,z 
- even its manpage says :rw should work.

I'll add a note to the documentation on community.kde.org.
