Functionally, it appears to be not a blocking problem. However,
suboptimal means concretely 110+ MB of additional download; well it just
doubles the size of the download.
About the surprise, if one is confident with their Guix skill, then they
look for a bug Guix-side; if one is less confident, then they look for a
twist in their config. In both cases, it is a diversion – let as the
reader’s judgment if this diversion is fun or a waste of time. :-)

What other Haskellers think about the issue? Fix or document this
surprising behaviour?
