I'd say Emacs knows nothing at all about profiles. It's Guix that
manages profiles for everyone else, be it bash, Python, or Emacs. To get
the behavior that I expected, Guix would have to define and manage an
environment variable, let's call it EMACS_PATH, which would be used in
site-start.el.

What I cannot judge is how much effort it would be to implement such a
feature, and if it could have undesirable side-effects.
