Repro steps:

1. Create the following compose file:

services:
  a:
    image: "busybox:"

2. Run docker compose up

Desired result:

An error message that tells me which image reference name is invalid.

Actual result:

docker compose up 
Error response from daemon: invalid reference format

Additional info

(This came up when we were diagnosing some bugsnag reports in the docker desktop extension install process and didn't have access to the compose file)

It would be nice if we printed the original reference string!
