Yes, the failure is repeatable and occurs with every build attempt 
of 7.0.3, which is the only version I have attempted to package. 
My WIP patch is attached.

Yes, I would have thought that the file requirements would suffice 
to resolve compilation order.

Reading through Guix's source code (namely 
guix/build/emacs-utils.scm), it seems that emacs-build-system 
compiles packages by invoking Emacs with the following arguments:
--quick --batch --eval="(progn (setq byte-compile-debug t) 
  (byte-recompile-directory (file-name-as-directory 
  \"$path_to_hyperbole\") 0 1))"
