pre-inst-env modifies the GUILE_LOAD_PATH to put the Guix modules from
the current directory first.  It does not, however, arrange for all
dependencies to be placed on GUILE_LOAD_PATH.

You are still expected to run pre-inst-env in an environment containing
all of the dependencies.

So this is not a bug, but seems to be a misunderstanding of what the
goals of the pre-inst-env script are.
