Ok, so now it suddenly works. I cannot see any recent commits in guix which should indicate a change related to this.
What kind of bad state could I have had on my system which has been fixed by experimenting with the local guix and pre-inst-env? And is it permanently fixed now? I find this both strange and worrying.

$ guix offload test
