I had a look at the cgit system test, and it seems like this #<eof> is
coming from the NGinx pid file being empty.

Since empty files is a possibility with wait-for-file, I've sent a patch
to [1] which prevents the eof issue, plus another change to make it
easier to debug.

1: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/57850

With that change, both of the above tests seem to pass for me.

This could be related to the Shepherd upgrade, but only indirectly, as I
think the failure at least for cgit was also timing dependent.
