Thanks for the pointer.
Some notes:
- I've checksumed the man page from i3status' source and the one installed
in the store: they are identical.
- Emacs' "M-x man" only truncates, it does not repeat.
- Emacs' "M-x woman" works perfectly! ("woman" is a pure Elisp
implementation of "man".)
Conclusion: the issue is with the `man` program as packaged in Guix.

It is never any good to oneself.
