I'm pretty sure --keep-going just means trying to *build* everything.
If you don't want to upgrade a profile and skip packages that don't
build, you have to explicitly use --do-not-upgrade.
So:
guix upgrade --do-not-upgrade=one-package --do-not-upgrade='(this-one|or-this)'

Keep in mind that it treats its arguments as regular expressions.
