I guess a power outage or the like. Currently the guix daemon never
calls 'sync' or the like (except possibly for the SQlite db), though
maybe it should (at cost of some performance).

That's a way to do it, but there are less heavy-handed ways. E.g.,
maybe "guix gc --verify=repair" could be extended to delete objects
that are broken (wrong hash) and aren't referenced? (long-term)
For the short term, maybe do "guix gc", possibly some of the broken
files are unused.
Greetings,
Maxime.
