I don't see how grub.cfg not being a GC root could cause guix to build
an ISO without GRUB. Perhaps you could clarify your thoughts?

I pull'd but nothing changed.
commit according to guix describe:

I tried the following:
cd ~/.config/guix/current/share/guile/site/2.2/gnu/system/examples/
guix system disk-image --file-system-type=iso9600 bare-bones.tmpl |
xargs file
end result:
/gnu/store/g1ba8gkhkcjkdraxpnrw166i5qpa7cb9-disk-image: DOS/MBR boot
sector; partition 1 : ID=0x83, active, start-CHS (0x0,32,33), end-CHS
(0xac,86,27), startsector 2048, 2766577 sectors; partition 2 : ID=0xef,
start-CHS (0xac,86,28), end-CHS (0xb1,111,48), startsector 2768625,
81921 sectors
As you can see, GRUB was not detected by file.
I noticed guix outputs odd characters when I try to build an ISO.
Here's a sample:
/��@ build-log 23054 1
�@ build-log 23054 1

�@ build-log 23054 1
)@ build-log 23054 1
@ build-log 23054 1
Perhaps this could be related.
I'm curious if anyone is able to replicate this bug.
