This won't help you, but I can confirm:

I'm pretty sure that it's supposed to work off of the most recent 
tag (like its namesake ‘git describe’), and am almost certain that 
it used to, so this is probably ‘just’ a bug & you're using the 
correct command :-)

Kind regards,

PS: I'm low on bandwidth or I'd find out what ‘guix pull 
--commit=<much earlier commit…> && git describe’ produces.
