Apart from breaking my system somewhat, I tried again, and I think you shouldn't pass -E GUIX_LOCPATH, because this will refer to something outside the environment. Instead, you should let the manifest set that for you. It will read po/LINGUAS to figure out which locales to bring in the environment.
