Hum, I am not able to reproduce,

    guix time-machine --commit=v1.4.0                                 \
    -- time-machine --commit=d6f6b57766e95d2fa8af63d4460a2b303ca4d867 \
    -- help

passes.  What appears to me weird is the previous part:

> Authenticating channel 'guix', commits 9edb3f6 to d6f6b57 (667 new)

It means that you already have a checkout and some commits
authenticated.  Other said, you have already run “guix pull” and you
probably did “guix pull --commit=v.1.4.0”, no?

Well, can you share the output of “guix pull -l”?  It would not explain
why the Guile ’module-gensym’ failed though.
