I think this is because you cannot replace a file a /sys like guix tries to. Instead, it seems you can set a linux kernel argument on the command line run by grub at startup. According to the internet, that would be "vt.global_cursor_default=0"
You can set it up in your config by adding a kernel-arguments field to you operating-system declaration, like this:
(operating-system
(kernel-arguments (cons "vt.global_cursor_default=0" %default-kernel-argumentt)))
Hope that helps!
