Let’s not jump to the conclusion. :-)

Note that you can use ‘guix copy’ instead, which avoids sending store
items already present on the target.

To me, this error suggests that
/gnu/store/6mfd4f8gy11rgn2xk00cnslmrslg9w7h-guile-2.2.3 was already
corrupt at the time you run ‘guix pull’.
Did you try running ‘guix gc --verify’ on that machine (using an older
Guix)?
Are there signs in the kernel log of a file system corruption?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
