It does change /etc/passwd (specifically, this is done in =E2=80=98modify-u=
ser=E2=80=99
in activation.scm, which is itself run from the activation script of the
new system that =E2=80=98guix system reconfigure=E2=80=99 runs; note that t=
his changes
the shell but leaves the home directory unchanged, see the comment in
there.)

Could it be that you did not run =E2=80=98guix pull=E2=80=99 as root?  Reme=
mber that
=E2=80=98guix pull=E2=80=99 is per-user:
