The message must have cut off, there was a full file path into `/gnu/
store/...`.

OK, now it seems to work. Just to re-iterate, the Guix binary I'm going to 
invoke from the command line (`guix`) comes from this profile `~/.config/guix/
current/`, while all my packages are in the `~/.guix-profile` profile, correct? 
This means that the Guix binary from `~/.config/guix/current/` shadows the one 
from `~/.guix-profile`.

My complete `~/.profile` file now contains

    source "$HOME/.guix-profile/etc/profile"
    export GUIX_LOCPATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale"
    export PATH="$HOME/.config/guix/current/bin:$PATH"
    export INFOPATH="$HOME/.config/guix/current/share/info:$INFOPATH"
    # SSL certificates (after installing 'nss-certs')
    export SSL_CERT_DIR="$HOME/.guix-profile/etc/ssl/certs"
    export SSL_CERT_FILE="$HOME/.guix-profile/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt"
    export GIT_SSL_CAINFO="$SSL_CERT_FILE"

and `which guix` prints

    /home/username/.config/guix/current/bin/guix
