Problem started with conversation on guix-devel, and related 
commit.

I was travelling and missed that change, when I
"guix pull && guix system reconfigure"ed at home and realized the
problem, I submitted fixes in the form of two patches 56690 and 
56699.

Then I was asked to open a bug report in guix-devel list, which 
is:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=56971

There is:

 make check-system TESTS="minimal-desktop"

Patches in 56690 and 56699 now include the tests for this case as 
well.
