I don't expect /run/current-system/locale to exist inside the build
container.  Maybe try

   (setenv "GUIX_LOCPATH" #+(file-append glibc-locales "/lib/locale"))
   ;; for testing
   ((@ (guix build utils) invoke)
    #+(file-append coreutils "/bin/ls") (getenv "GUIX_LOCPATH"))

instead?

gnu-build-system has a (variant of) glibc-locales in its (implicit)
inputs, so there GUIX_LOCPATH can be set to the /gnu/store/.../locales
file name, in the 'set-paths' procedure.

Building the package and downloading the source code are separate steps
(derivations), they don't automatically have access to each other's
inputs.

Greetings,
