Hi Sergiu,
Thank you for your quick response, indeed I am using the "latest" guix:

<snip>
$ guix describe
Generation 44   ott 19 2023 13:15:29    (current)
  guix 589a165
    repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
    branch: master
    commit: 589a165de1895875a9849c2ededa69726a185a8c
</snip>

I'll check out the previous bug report to see if there's something I'm doing 
differently.
