It's the very same kernel, just different docker containers on the
same system. I did not investigate yet where the problem is coming
from, different libnuma versions seemed like the best bet.

Same (differing) results on both these systems:
Linux turing 6.16.7+deb14-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.16.7-1 (2025-09-11) x86_64 GNU/Linux

It's probably the lack of some process capability in that environment.
Maybe there is a way to query that, but I don't know much about that
yet.
