That was with QEMU user emulation.  Using overdrive1 (real ARM
hardware), I don't get any failure after multiple builds done via:

GUIX_DAEMON_SOCKET=ssh://overdrive1 guix build zsh \
  --system=aarch64-linux --no-grafts --check --rounds=5

It may be that the problem really has to do with the noatime flag, but
that's a bit too narrow for me to test.  If you can reproduce it again
on 5.8 and determine if noatime is at cause, that would be very helpful.

Closing for now, but feel free to reopen!
