Could you try if you get different behaviour with =E2=80=9Cguix environment
--pure guix=E2=80=9D?

This looks like some environment variables are not set properly.  If you
set variables in ~/.bashrc, for example, (instead of ~/.bash_profile)
that could interfere with =E2=80=9Cguix environment=E2=80=9D.

Could you please show the output of =E2=80=9Cenv=E2=80=9D after you ran =E2=
=80=9Cguix
environment guix=E2=80=9D?
