Unfortunately, I can’t be too much help here.  Like janneke, I think
it’s weird that it’s 2.2.  We had a discussion about upgrading the seed
Guile, and all I remember is that we decided it would be preferable if
we didn’t.  Maybe this is what I’m remembering:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-12/msg00154.html

Anyway, I did extensive testing to make sure the Gash stuff all works
with bootstrap Guile (version 2.0.9).  AFAIK, there’s no reason we need
2.2.
