I believe the build fails because the guile-build-system deletes the 'check phase. From guix/build/guile-build-system.scm:

(define %standard-phases
  (modify-phases gnu:%standard-phases
    (delete 'bootstrap)
    (delete 'configure)
    (add-before 'install-locale 'set-locale-path
      set-locale-path)
    (replace 'build build)
    (add-after 'build 'install-documentation
      install-documentation)
    (delete 'check)
    (delete 'strip)
    (delete 'validate-runpath)
    (delete 'install)))

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
Kaelyn
