I looked at the "texlive-marvosym" package again, but couldn't spot
anything suspicious.

OTOH, Artyom successfully built their book in a "--pure" shell
environment, so that package may not be the culprit. It more sounds like
an incompatibility between Ubuntu's TeX Live packages and Guix's.
I admit I don't understand the problem, tho.

In any case, feel free to report the errors you encounter with your
documents (without necessarily spending time investigating). This is
a valuable feedback for finding out bugs in modular TeX live.
