No, the other way around: the profile hook from the inferior is used
(which requires a recently added package), but the module-ref does not
happen in the context of the inferior. It happens in the context of the
*old* Guix (the “library Guix”), which does not have that package.

Oh, you bet there’s load path trickery going on!
guix/extensions/workflow.scm sets the load path such that the Guix
modules at runtime are those of the Guix library at build time.

Not yet, but I’ll try to build one.
