In a way that's good that this failure is reproducible so well.

"herd start dockerd" would do:

$(guix build docker)/bin/dockerd -p /var/run/docker.pid

For debugging, can you please try invoking the latter instead
of "herd start dockerd" ?

After that, please try

$(guix build docker)/bin/dockerd -p /var/run/docker.pid -D
