I believe this is incorrect.  On my Guix system, I see this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
mhw@jojen ~$ guix package -I inkscape
inkscape        0.92.4  out     
/gnu/store/rx26f9xn14fng2gnzsigr74492lrkydl-inkscape-0.92.4
mhw@jojen ~$ guix gc -R 
/gnu/store/rx26f9xn14fng2gnzsigr74492lrkydl-inkscape-0.92.4 | grep -i 
imagemagick
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I guess that "guix graph --type=references" is not a reliable indicator
of what we need to check for.

FYI, this is what I do to check that my system and user profile do not
have references to imagemagick:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
mhw@jojen ~$ guix gc -R $(readlink /run/current-system) | grep -i imagemagick
mhw@jojen ~$ guix gc -R $(readlink -f ~/.guix-profile) | grep -i imagemagick
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

    Regards,
      Mark
