OK.

That means the target of this symlink was already invalid/non-existent,
right?

OK.
If there’s a root pointing to the profile, and the profile no longer
exists, it could be that the root was created after the profile had been
deleted. AFAIK that cannot happen in normal operation, so you’d really
have to fiddle with /var/guix/profiles to achieve that.
So… I don’t see how this could happen!
