GVFS in general seems extremely buggy, but especially on Guix. If you
manage to figure this out I'd be very interested.
Other fun GVFS related issues include:
- sometimes mounts just plain don't show up (no /run/user/$UID/gvfs
  entry)
- removable drives only show up once you've run fstab --list on them.
  they can be mounted with udiskctl, but they aren't visible in
  Nautilus.
- incorrect handling of symlinks can lead to data loss, bug has been
  known for years and no workaround or fix exists.
