you need to distinguish the name of a package, as given as a string in its
name field and used on the command line, and the variable name used inside
the Guile code of Guix. Usually, they are the same. But when you do
"guix edit bind":
(define-public isc-bind
  (package
    (name "bind")
...
Supposedly this is due to the name clash with an already existing Guile
procedure you mention.

So either use the varible name isc-bind in your code, or
(specification->package "bind")
