Subject: bug#35387: unpack phase in the gnu-build-system is sometimes non-deterministic

I believe that the direnv package has encountered an issue with the
gnu-build-system [1].
1: https://issues.guix.info/issue/35386
Due to the combination of the 'setup-go-environment phase from the
go-build-system, and the 'unpack phase of the gnu-build-system, there
are two directories to be considered by first-subdirectory when called
from the unpack phase.
It seems from direnv that this either consistently, with the package
working on one machine, or failing consistently on another.
To avoid issues like this in the future, I think it would be good to
have first-subdirectory raise an error if it's behaviour could be
non-deterministic.
