Well, this is actually not strange, but documented in the manual,
I realise upon reading it again.

However, the current behaviour is not consistent with the documentation.
"Instead of referring to these directories, users have their own
@dfn{profile}, which points to the packages that they actually want to
use. That profile is normally stored in @code{$HOME/.guix-profile}, and
each user has its own profile."
"@item --profile=@var{profile}
@itemx -p @var{profile}
Use @var{profile} instead of the user's default profile."
This should be easy to fix.
