debian glibc's libX11 depend breaks local profile guix?

[Foran, Will]

Hi all! I'm trying to run guix on top of debian stable/bookworm (12.5, libc6=2.36) but am blocked by
>  error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Currently, I'm only having luck using guix like
    /usr/bin/guix shell -NC --share=/gnu  --share=/var/guix/ --share=$HOME/.guix-profile  guix nss-certs

I got here afer using the install script and doing a 'guix pull && guix package -u'. Now guix dies before it can do anything!

    guix --help
      /gnu/store/ni2dckdc0lcb6b77b6q3qfy2mr60z8c2-guile-wrapper/bin/guile:
      error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I suspect glibc version mismatches are causing a problem (guix=2.33;deb libX11@2.34 (?);debian=2.36).
This is a warning from ldd on guix's version of bash:
    /gnu/store/5h2w4qi9hk1qzzgi1w83220ydslinr4s-glibc-2.33/lib/libc.so.6:
    version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6)


For what it's worth, in debian, ldd shows libX11 on libc!?

   ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6|grep X11
           libX11.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 (0x00007f7dfca49000)


   apt-cache policy libc6  # Installed: 2.36-9+deb12u7
   cat /etc/debian_version # 12.5


For debuging below, I'm using the installer version of guix instead of the one in my user's home profile.
I'm using the 'bash' package (arbitrarily) to inspect when/how libX11 is a problem
'guix shell' without --container always errors out. But when I include 'glibc' in the package list, libX11 is not found.
