The locales are not compatible between versions of glibc, and you
probably pulled a big update that updated glibc. So now, you are using
the new version, and the guix-daemon is still using the old version.
The locales need to be updated for people who are using Guix (that's
you) and for the guix-daemon, which runs as a different user (typically
as root).
Check the manual section on locales for Guix System, specifically the
part about compatibility:
