I tried in a pristine environment like this:

  guix environment --container --ad-hoc less -- /bin/sh -c 'TERM=3Dxterm le=
ss --help'

This works well for me.  Could you check on your system?

If this works, it probably means that something from the host system is
interfering.

Does =E2=80=98which less=E2=80=99 point to Guix=E2=80=99s less?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
