The fix is to install a locale package and define LOCPATH accordingly:

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2015-05/msg00282.html

/run/current-system exists on GuixSD (but obviously not on other
systems).  It contains the =E2=80=9Csystem profile=E2=80=9D, and in particu=
lar contains
the locale data specified in the OS configuration (see
<http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Locales.html>.)

Thanks,
