It's odd, but the problem was caused by the lack of GI_TYPELIB_PATH.  I
wrapped that variable and also combined the phases from
glib-or-gtk-build-system and PATH (already wrapped scripts are skipped
instead of of composed) and now, the following works:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
./pre-inst-env guix shell --pure h-client adwaita-icon-theme glib
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

glib is only added above to set XDG_DATA_DIRS and find the icons.

Thanks for the report!

Closing.
