Just to be sure: have you only noticed this variable or have you sourced
the new .guix-profile/etc/profile where it should be included?

I have opened a bug about this a while ago (OpenVPN and the (not yet merged?)
VPNC plugins are affected. It's annoying prevents me from accessing my university

Maybe it was just an email so far, I can not find a bug ticket for this.

Thanks for the additional issue, I didn't look into Nix so far.
