I've rebuilt my GuixSD system with this change, and I can confirm that
it works.

Setting GUIX_LOCPATH does not work in all cases, at least for me.

For example, the remote shell program 'mosh' requires a UTF-8
environment on the host. Even with GUIX_LOCPATH set correctly in my
login profile, mosh does not find the locales.

Also, the calendar app 'ikhal' is no longer working, and setting
GUIX_LOCPATH does not work for me.

I think we should prioritize this fix.
