Here's a proposed patch that I hope will fix the problem, although I'm unable to easily test it because I no longer use binary substitutes, and I have not yet built the core packages for i686-linux. However, I've applied this patch to my x86_64 system, and verified that it does not cause any problems there. Would someone be willing to test it and report back?

Thanks very much! Hydra has now successfully built GRUB on i686-linux, so I'm closing this bug. > I wanted to try ‘guix system vm-image -s i686-linux’ on my x86_64 laptop > to make sure GRUB runs fine.

It would be better to auto-detect the presence of KVM support at run time, but that's a wishlist item that deserves its own ticket.
