Oh that's a nice way of doing this, better than my hack to print the
config, I'll have to remember the `guix gc -R' flag.

Yeah I'm afraid I still see the same issue after a `git pull` just now:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
~/code/guix [env]$ ./pre-inst-env guix system build -e '(@@ (gnu tests mail) %dovecot-os)'
/gnu/store/ayfvf5s561q955kv8wrkklrvq3ga3qpy-system
~/code/guix [env]$ guix gc -R /gnu/store/ayfvf5s561q955kv8wrkklrvq3ga3qpy-system | grep dovecot\.conf | xargs grep "^location"
location=#<<location> file: "gnu/tests/mail.scm" line: 297 column: 20>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Have you tried to rebuild from scratch, after a `make clean-go'? When
first bisecting this, I was working from the git repo and couldn't
reproduce the bug. Then it worked by using `guix time-machine' to bisect
rather than work from git.
So I'm guessing the change being in a macro, there could be residue .go
files that need recompiling?
Thanks,
Pierre
