Yes! That worked!

Yes! That worked… sometimes.
I did `$ guix pull; guix package -u`

And the lines appeared anyway:

  substitute: hint: Consider installing the `glibc-utf8-locales' 
or`glibc-locales' package and
  substitute: defining `GUIX_LOCPATH', along these lines:
  substitute:
  substitute: guix package -i glibc-utf8-locales
  substitute: export GUIX_LOCPATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale"

Nothing... As if `~/.config/guix/channels.scm` was ignored.

Also, `~/.config/guix/channels.scm`:

  (append

   (list
    (channel
     (name 'phf)
     (url "/home/phf/tools/guix/packages")))

   %default-channels)

and /home/phf/tools/guix/packages:
