Thanks! With this typo fixed, 'guix lint' doesn't suggest a downgrade
anymore.

That's not currently the case with Guix. Guix package version strings
are documented has having the requirement to be 'monotonically
increasing', so '43.rc3' as used by GNOME is seen by Guix as newer than
'43', the final release.
I'll keep this bug open (and retitle it), because implementing ~ would
be useful (GNOME makes use of that scheme, and it's understood by rpm,
dpkg, pkg-config, etc.).
