I’m happy to report that this bug is finally fixed, in commit
b006ba50384f9cb517fa881299160adba0aaca9e.  :-)

It should take effect immediately: “guix pull && guix --version” should
display a version string other than “0.10.0” or similar.

Eventually the version string will include the Git commit id, à la “git
describe”.
