This:
(parameterize ((%store (open-connection)))

I suspect it’s the ‘%guile-for-build’ parameter that’s set to #f instead
of being set to a derivation here. There’s also a ‘parameterize’ form
for that one in guix/scripts/package.scm.

Look for ‘parameterize’; it’s dynamic scoping, which makes it less
visible.
