Yes, you are absolutely right.

Danny, if you look at 'gnu-build' procedure in (guix build-system gnu)
module, you can see that the default value for 'modules' keyword is
'%default-modules' defined earlier in this module, so as Marius wrote,
when you specify #:modules argument in a package declaration, you have
to specify these default modules along with the additional ones.
