$ find `guix build --source delft-icon-theme` -xtype l
This returns a list of broken symlinks.  On any of them, install-file
fails with "file not found".

I think I agree with you.  Instead of simply doing (copy-file file
dest), we'd have to check for symlinks as is done in copy-recursively. 
Now that I have a more complete understanding of this bug, I'll try to
come up with a patch.
