Sad to hear.

For now, I continue to set GUIX environment variables (including
sourcing "${GUIX_PROFILE}/etc/profile") from ~/.profile.  To avoid the
GIO_EXTRA_MODULES problem, I have moved Gnucash from my default profile
to a separate Guix profile.  This way my default
"${GUIX_PROFILE}/etc/profile" does not export GIO_EXTRA_MODULES.  Then
to launch Gnucash I created an executable Bash script in ~/bin/gnucash
with the following contents:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#!/usr/bin/env bash

GIO_PROFILE=3D~/".guix-extra-profiles/GIO_EXTRA_MODULES/GIO_EXTRA_MODULES"
eval $(guix package -p "${GIO_PROFILE}" --search-paths)
gnucash
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I also copied
~/.guix-extra-profiles/GIO_EXTRA_MODULES/GIO_EXTRA_MODULES/share/applicatio=
ns/gnucash.desktop
into ~/.local/share/applications/gnucash.desktop and changed the Exec
line to

Exec=3D/home/jorge/bin/gnucash %f

It seems to be working, but I have tested it only lightly.
