I misunderstood. Thank you for the clarification.

I'm curious to know if I would encounter the same problem if I were
actually running the GRUB that Guix installed (to my drive), rather than
the GRUB which Libreboot installed (to my internal memory). However, I
am not sure how to run the GRUB that Guix installed; I tried
chainloading it manually from Libreboot's GRUB, but I was unsuccessful.
Unfortunately, this means I can't currently reproduce your issue.
Can anyone else reproduce this issue?
