Great!

It should be fixed on master, if you can guix pull again.

This is not strange. `texlive' provides `perl' once in its inputs, and
all scripts, such as `makeglossaries', have their shebang line updated.

In modular TeX Live, packages are responsible for their own script(s);
and need to provide `perl', for example, as an input. This is not
obvious when the script has no extension, as it is the case here.
