maybe try to exactly mimick my environment? And if that does not help,
I would not know where to look next.

$ guix package -I | grep tex
texlive	20180414	out	/gnu/store/axddwjmfip84lz3fp7xqh9p9vx8hchcm-texlive-20180414

In particular, I think that texlive-base (from the split-up texlive
distribution) and texlive-bin (from the monolithic one, but also included
in the "meta-package" texlive) will collide.

$ env | grep TEX

There should be nothing. Maybe that is also pulled in from the split-up
package installed into the profile?

If it works with the monolithic, but not the split-up package, then it is
a bug to be reported.
