Guix never modifies your ~/.profile. The relevant file is:
~/.guix-profile/etc/profile, which is generated each time you update
your user profile. On a Guix system, it is sourced from /etc/profile.
On other systems, you should arrange to source that file in your login
shell with GUIX_PROFILE set appropriately, e.g. with the following code
in your ~/.bash_profile or equivalent:
GUIX_PROFILE="$HOME/.guix-profile" ; \
source "$HOME/.guix-profile/etc/profile"
This is recommended in section 4.2 of the Guix manual, here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-package.html

Again, Guix will never do this. However, 'guix package' should tell you
if you're missing environment variable settings that are needed by the
newly installed packages.

Hmm. Are you confident about this? If so, that casts doubt on my
hypothesis that this was about missing environment variable settings.
Unfortunately, I currently have no other hypothesis to explain why a
reboot was required to fix your IceCat.
