I wondered if this could be a missed reference issue due to grafting
(whereby a recent ‘guix gc’ would have deleted m17n-lib from the store
because the grafted Emacs didn’t have a visible reference to it) but
that doesn’t seem to be the case (on x86_64-linux):

Does passing ‘--no-grafts’ to ‘environment’ make a difference for you?

Thanks,
