I checked, and it's the 'nobody' user's home directory:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/system/shadow.scm#n125

I think it's very appropriate for nobody to live in a nonexistent
directory ;)
But, I noticed that the directory doesn't exist on my GuixSD system,
which has been reconfigured since the commit that introduced this
directory (2d94702ff). My nobody is still using '/var/empty'.
I wonder if that's a problem?
