To test the bug, save this file as mercurial.scm: http://bpaste.net/raw/129793/

Now run
 
    GUILE_LOAD_PATH=. guix package -e '(@ (mercurial) hg)'

On the first run I got the following backtrace: 

@ build-succeeded /nix/store/9rajwkq02sk4nq7cvrxilbsvxrywh2zs-mercurial-2.7.1.drv -

The second run succeeds.
