Yes, this comes from './pre-inst-env guix build zsh'.

Do you need more info?

PS – I built git guix inside of the guix 0.5 emacs, and I felt like that may 
have had unfavorable results. Inside git guix emacs, programs like the shells are coming from 
the OS packages instead of guix. I don't think that happened with guix 
0.5 inside its emacs. It's hard to explain. Emacs is loading from guix store.
The two /nix/store strings below are different:

$ ls -l ~/.guix-profile/bin
lrwxrwxrwx 1 guix-builder0 guix-builder 58 Dec 31  1969 /home/.../.guix-profile/bin -> /nix/store/qpb773jxk37yylcrm5yrmxpkb5lrc3ma-emacs-24.3/bin

$ guix package -I
...
emacs   24.3    out     /nix/store/c4khfda7zfmxmkgy9anxb3pdv8agzcsx-emacs-24.3
