Mathieu, thanks for catching it!  I also think that it is better to
avoid converting "guix-backend.el" into ".in" file.

I had the same question with 'guix-load-path' variable when Emacs UI was
merging into Guix: this var was defined in "guix-backend.el" but it had
to depend on @prefix@, so I just put another "(defvar =E2=80=A6)" into
"guix-init.el.in".  As you can see there are 2 definitions of
'guix-load-path':

- in "guix-backend.el" (with an old "configure"-independent value)

- and in "guix-init.el" (with the current default value).

So I suggest to do the same with 'guix-guile-program', i.e. to put

  (defvar guix-guile-program "@GUILE" =E2=80=A6)

into "guix-init.el.in" and that's it.  Since "guix-init.el" is loaded
the first, "defvar" in "guix-backend.el" will not override the default
value.
