Hmm, this should never leave you with an uncompiled Guix.  Can you tell
us more about the environment in which this happens?  (e.g. the output
of =E2=80=9Cenv=E2=80=9D will be fine.)

When using =E2=80=9Cguix pull=E2=80=9D it will install into the current use=
r=E2=80=99s
~/.config/guix/current/.  Are you only using Guix as the root user?

No.  You should never run =E2=80=9Cguix package -i guix=E2=80=9D because it=
 necessarily
installs an *older* version of Guix than the version you use to install
it.
