I don't seem to have this problem on Debian bookworm with guix
1.4.0-3. I also uploaded 1.4.0-4 with possibly related fixes, but that
is stuck in sid/unstable for now...

Not sure if it matters, but I am not using guix home...

Does it work at all *without* the workaround (presumably logging out and
back in again, etc.)?

Do older guix pull generations work?
