I had the same problem, which was solved by installing glibc-utf8-locales in root's profile and adding the export line to root's ~/.profile, which fits Ricardo's explanations.
Thank you for this straightforward answer Ricardo. I post some insights
below.

In fact:
echo $GUIX_LOCPATH
gives no output as root (which runs the Guix daemon, presumably).
Where is the service file supposed to be and how to include GUIX_LOCPATH
in it?
I also ran the script to install Guix. Perhaps this script should do all
the setup.
