This bug has long been fixed in git master after 1.0.1, but there has
not been a new release of downloadable Guix System images since then.
You could install Guix on another operating system or on another
computer, download the Guix source code and run in a terminal
cd path/to/guix/source
guix system disk-image --file-system-type=iso9660 \
gnu/system/install.scm
The command is from here:
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Building-the-Installation-Image.html

P.S. Alternatively, I believe installation from DVD works fine.

I last installed my macbook pre-1.0 so my memory is a bit hazy. My case
was a little different, I wanted a btrfs root on my macbook. In the end
I believe I used a Debian netinstall to get a minimal system, used the
guix-install.sh script and then installed Guix over Debian.
Another option I believe I've used in the past is I've actually taken
the HDD out of my macbook, installed to it, and then put it back inside
the machine.

This is a third way. Maybe it’s necessary in case a current
installation image’s kernel may be too new. The 1.0.1 DVD should
work, at least on an external DVD drive (my internal DVD drive fails
at least sometimes).
I cannot even use a current LTS kernel anymore on my 2010 Macbook, but
I believe the reason is a defect in my Macbook’s GPU which I presume
would not affect others, because there are error messages in dmesg and
occasional crashes and system freezes in Blender and VLC too. I hope
others do not need this, but this is why instead I use inferiors like
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2019-11/msg00143.html
TL;DR affected machines are getting old, but can be made to work.

You could also boot from e.g. a Debian USB flash drive, install and
update Guix on it and perform a manual installation from such a Debian
live system.
