So, first things first:
% guix package -I | grep -E '(flatpak|roam)'
emacs-org-roam      	2.2.2-0.74422df   	out       	/gnu/store/bxxjy8ydm62fr0bckxfrj27xnlvqbfmy-emacs-org-roam-2.2.2-0.74422df
flatpak             	1.14.1            	out       	/gnu/store/mf0k987xvpgk79l74lmdjv9jz8gy8cdf-flatpak-1.14.1

Both are installed.

ls $(guix build flatpak)/bin/
flatpak  flatpak-bisect  flatpak-coredumpctl

The store paths also match.

This path also exists:
$(guix build emacs-org-roam)/share/emacs/site-lisp/org-roam-2.2.2-0.74422df

I don't know the details of how Emacs loads things, but org-roam has an
org-roam-autoloads.el while lsp-mode (a package that does work) does
not.

Some relevant paths:
EMACSLOADPATH=/home/raingloom/.guix-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp
PATH=/home/raingloom/.local/bin:/run/setuid-programs:/home/raingloom/.config/guix/current/bin:/home/raingloom/.guix-profile/bin:/home/raingloom/.guix-profile/sbin:/run/current-system/profile/bin:/run/current-system/profile/sbin

The only additional item is on PATH and at worst it would shadow an
existing flatpak binary.  But it doesn't, there is just a single utility
script there that I should probably get rid of.

Also:
guix shell --check -p .guix-profile
This seems to hang.  Or at least it's taking an awful long time for
something so simple.

I'm running Guix as my system distro and I'm not in the habit of adding
random junk to my dotfiles, so I would be rather surprised if this
turned out to be a path issue, especially when it's obvious the packages
are literally not even showing up in the profile they are supposed to
show up in.

% ls ~/.guix-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp/

This does not print any org-roam directory.
