^R is interpreted as a symbol:
(symbol? (call-with-input-string "\x12" read)).
"foo" is interpreted as a string:
(string? (call-with-input-string "\"foo\"" read))
"foo without a terminating string cannot be interpreted at all:
(call-with-input-string "\"foo" read)

It's not any more overengineering than catching not-an-integer IMO.
AFAICT, this does not find the definition of overengineering I found
on Wikipedia.
Also, I do not understand the resistance -- I have a simple proposal
for generalising your patch to more failure modes, with a demonstration
and test case (see the file "a") on when it is necessary and a
proposed implementation.

If you are able to produce a corrupted file which breaks "guix
time-machine", then we can examine. Else let move on. :-)
I previously produced the corrupted file, see the file "a".
I am not willing to deliberately corrupt my file system for this,
especially when I can just give a synthetic example of corrupted
file (see the file "a") and especially since making a synthetic
example is much simpler and faster.
Greetings,
Maxime.
