It's unlikely to be Guix-specific.  More likely, it's related to the
kernel version.  On several occasions in the past, new kernels have been
found to have problems on Libreboot systems.

We include older kernel versions: linux-libre-4.4 and linux-libre-4.1,
which you can select via the 'kernel' field of the OS configuration,
e.g.: (kernel linux-libre-4.4)

Can you try these and see if the problem persists?

For what it's worth, linux-libre-4.7 works well for me on my Libreboot
X60.
