Thanks, is 'nix-system->gnu-triplet' the suggested way of obtaining the
triplet for a system?

Changing it to the following:

#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
(lower-gexp exp
            #:system "i686-linux"
            #:target "i686-unknown-linux-gnu"
            #:guile-for-build #f)
#+END_SRC

The Guile used is still a 64-bit LSB executable. Similarly, the
<operating-system> that's ungexp'd has a profile containing x86_64
executables.
