Hi John,
I thought that any modern 'guix pull' would protect[0] itself from accidental sudoage. Perhaps the check's a little naive. Or there's some subtler effect of using sudo...
How confident are you that the ownership is incorrect? The only "incorrect data check" error string I could find was in zlib, which would point to pack file corruption more than incorrect ownership.
Guix's git checkouts are stashed in ~/.cache/guix/checkouts. As the name implies you can safely delete it or even the entire 'guix' directory, at the expense of subsequent downloads & computation.
You could also rename it for later investigation, but I'm unable to volunteer for that myself. Don't feel obliged.

Kind regards,
T G-R
