The reason I suggested an interface change being responsible for
"Unbound variable: ~S" is that I noticed it a couple days ago after
changes to (guix ui), and it was fixed by `make clean-go`:

I think that error message is an example of what can go wrong when using
a development environment without rebuilding everything first.
