bug#61885: `guix import go` fails outside of pre-inst-env

[winter--- via Bug reports for GNU Guix <bug-guix@gnu.org>]

Hi,

As of commit ec8c7370dfd66136f7cb517d31fa6fda31e2cb74, the following `guix import` invocation fails:

$ guix import go --recursive github.com/tdewolff/minify/v2

Strangely enough, it does work inside pre-inst-env with that same commit:

$ ./pre-inst-env guix import go --recursive github.com/tdewolff/minify/v2
(define-public go-github-com-djherbis-atime
<...>

I'm very unsure as to why this is happening, as `(gnu packages golang)` is imported in `(gnu packages check)`. Plus, even more weirdly, `guix build` can't find the problematic package, but can build the one that depends on it:

$ guix build go-github-com-robfig-cron-1.2
guix build: error: go-github-com-robfig-cron-1.2: unknown package
$ guix build actionlint
/gnu/store/0nzn1lbq02mfp6ka7z34lp9ly5nhlrv4-actionlint-1.6.23

I'd appreciate any help tracking down what could possibly be wrong here, as it's very puzzling.

Thanks,
Winter
