Using Guix 00ff6f7 and running,

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix time-machine --commit=86ec52f66735b122b9035eba56516fd16f3be958 \
     -- time-machine --commit=c07b55eb94f8cfa9d0f56cfd97a16f2f7d842652 \
     -- help
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

then it works for me.
