There shouldn't be any auto-compilation going on with Guix unless you are
using Emacs-Guix. This has been fixed in a recent commit[1] but will only
appear in the next release.

In the mean time you could define the following in your ~/.emacs:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq guix-guile-program '("guile" "--no-auto-compile"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
