This is ultimately caused by the fact that
/var/guix/profiles/system-*-link/parameters, for every system I have,
includes:

  (store (device #f) (mount-point "/"))

It's worth noting that my root device is unusual: it is a btrfs
filesystem within a LUKS-encrypted partition.  See below for the
relevant excerpts of my OS configuration:
