Good catch!  Could you please submit it to bug-guile@gnu.org first,
perhaps with a higher-level example based on what you have in
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/62240> showing how to reproduce the issue?

Then ideally we’d use the new release in Guix; if that would be
inconvenient, for instance because of delays, that would at least allow
us to refer to the upstream commit/issue in Guix.

Don’t hesitate to ping me on IRC to make sure this doesn’t stall.

Thanks!

Ludo’.
