After running gc and trying to launch next-browser I get:

Make sure the platform port executable is either in the
PATH or set in you ~/.config/next/init.lisp, for instance:

     (setf (get-default 'port 'path)
         "~/common-lisp/next/ports/gtk-webkit/next-gtk-webkit")
; 
; compilation unit aborted
;   caught 1 fatal ERROR condition

Obviously the package should be live and not be picked up by gc, since
it's an input of a package in a current profile. Any ideas why that
could happen?

Can you tell us what version of Guix you used to install Next?  There
was a short period during which the Next executable was compressed,
which effectively hid references from the garbage collector.

OK, so I checked and it seems that I installed next while there was the
patch for the executable compression, particularly commit 79c6d8781b, in
master. I will try again to rebuild and then gc to check if it works as
intended and then close this bug.  Thanks!

This is the known bug #33848, it's not related to core compression.

I suspect that I am a victim of this bug as well. Is there a workaround?
I tried removing next, doing another gc to get a clean slate, and then
re-installed next. But it still complains that it can't find the
next-gtk-webkit executable.

This actually does work, if you remove older generations of your profile
first that still contain next. So this is a workaround, but a somewhat
radical one because it requires throwing away a lot of stuff.
