I've just "guix pull"ed and I get the following:

=2D-8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
> guix environment --container --ad-hoc coreutils shadow=20
# id
uid=3D0(ambrevar) gid=3D0(users) groups=3D0(users),65534(overflow)
# groupadd audio

# useradd foo
useradd: PAM: Critical error - immediate abort
=2D-8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Any idea where to go from here?

What about defaulting to 1000?  It's rather common, so I guess that
would be anonymous enough and "just work".
