I run `sudo -E guix system reconfigure my_config.scm` and I don't get
any error message.

The "funny" thing is, if I add a second user to the system, setting
Fish as its default shell, it's added with Fish as its default shell!

If I remove `(shell (file-append fish "/bin/fish"))` from the newly
created account and re-run `guix system reconfigure`, the shell is still
Fish.

If I add `(shell (file-append bash "/bin/bash"))` to the newly
created account and re-run `guix system reconfigure`, the shell is still
Fish.

Bug or feature?!
