Hello Jack,
I'm also on foreign distro so maybe I could help to clarify what's
missing here
Did you use the last shell installer script [1] you or did it
"manually" using the last binary tarball?
[1] https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/plain/etc/guix-install.sh

I installed glibc-utf8-locales in the root profile:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
glibc-utf8-locales 2.28 out
/gnu/store/94k5w17z54w25lgp90czdqfv9m4hwzhq-glibc-utf8-locales-2.28
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and both in my user profile:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
glibc-utf8-locales 2.28 out
/gnu/store/94k5w17z54w25lgp90czdqfv9m4hwzhq-glibc-utf8-locales-2.28
glibc-locales 2.28 out
/gnu/store/acl2wxzzkkcjv74rlqswdf9p8pwddlmk-glibc-locales-2.28
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Please are you able to reproduce the error you got from guix-daemon?
What's the error message?

Well, actually both en_US.utf8 and en_US.UTF-8 are both in
glibc-utf8-locales:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
~$ ls -lah /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile/lib/locale/2.28/ |
grep en_US
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Jan 1 1970 en_US.utf8
lrwxrwxrwx 3 root root 10 Jan 1 1970 en_US.UTF-8 -> en_US.utf8
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and glibc-locales
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ls -lah /var/guix/profiles/per-user/giovanni/guix-profile/lib/locale/2.28/ |
grep en_US
lrwxrwxrwx 33 root root 84 Jan 1 1970 en_US ->
/gnu/store/acl2wxzzkkcjv74rlqswdf9p8pwddlmk-glibc-locales-2.28/lib/locale/2.28/en_US
lrwxrwxrwx 33 root root 94 Jan 1 1970 en_US.utf8 ->
/gnu/store/94k5w17z54w25lgp90czdqfv9m4hwzhq-glibc-utf8-locales-2.28/lib/locale/2.28/en_US.utf8
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Jan 1 1970 en_US.UTF-8
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
So AFAIU glibc-locales provides both en_US.UTF-8 and en_US.utf8 that is
used by guix-daemon.
HTH! Gio'.
