Great!

I believe mod-q works fine for me with the following set:

     profile=$HOME/.guix-profile
     export GHC_PACKAGE_PATH=$profile/lib/ghc-7.8.4/package.conf.d/:

Note the trailing colon. (I haven't yet tried this out with the new
version you just pushed, so it's very possible this doesn't help.)

About creating custom package databases: my xmonad.hs imports packages
other than xmonad and xmonad-contrib, so my GHC_PACKAGE_PATH would in
that case still need to contain the $profile's package database.
