FYI, about 5 days ago I saw the same error occur on Hydra, during a
build offloaded to guix.sjd.se.  I reported it as bug #33722.

  https://bugs.gnu.org/33722

The relevant build aborted due to the error, but was later retried and
succeeded.  It's the only time I've ever seen this error, so I guess
the bug is relatively new.
