Anyone else encountering "unknown error" when Initializing Cloud Engine?

I am trying to launch an instance of Discourse on Google's Cloud Platform using their recently released "Launcher" (https://cloud.google.com/launcher/#/details/bitnami-launchpad:discourse?q=discourse)

It is able to create a new project, but during the step "Initializing Cloud Engine" it fails -- citing "Unknown error." as the reason.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Know how to get around it?

I had to generate an random project ID for the error to go away. Here's how that works.

Click the "Edit" button next to the project ID:
