That seems to have resolved the issue. I added the above lines to have access to completion for the packages I have installed in my user-profile.

I changed my config to:

    # Profile-specific completion
    if [ -f  "$HOME"/.guix-profile/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh ]; then
        source "$HOME"/.guix-profile/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh
    fi

Its unfortunate that this needs to be added manually on foreign distros.
