After troubleshooting with lfam, rekado, cbaines in #guix the problem was found to be caused by lack of ram during "guix pull". 
With 1GB of ram for VM "guix pull" fails at different locations. 
With 2GB of ram "guix pull" finishes. Low point of available system memory (per 'free -s') during pull was ~320MB with ~910MB being common.
