I'm newbie to Guix and know little about Guix jargon. I'm sorry about that my words make you puzzled.

I mean the emacs package in guix source, the emacs-next package, precisely.

The package definition of emacs-next has native-search-path field, which add customized EMACSLOADPATH environment variable.
And I guess it modified ~/.guix-profile/etc/profile.

If you still doesn't understand, please ask me again, thanks!
