My user and root passwords have been reset about 3 times in 4 days upon running guix system reconfigure.
I can't seem to recognize any pattern, it appears to occur randomly, and it requires setting passwords manually.
The password is left blank, and could be a security issue, as anybody would be able to access the root account easily.

This sounds really odd. Can you share your system configuration?
Do you manage users outside of the Guix configuration system by any
chance? Or can you reproduce it by simply invoking `guix system
reconfigure` enough times?

I have also noticed this once, but could not reproduce it since then. This
happened to me not too much after the 1.0.1 release, on a vm with 512 mb
ram. I later cleared up that machine, as it was too small. So in my case it
was either a sporadic thing, a specific commit from guix pull fixed later,
or a not obvious out of memory. Wdyt?
