Subject: Home directory not created for new users

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Following up on the thread from guix-devel:
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2015-07/msg00554.html>

On 0.8.3-pre, after a clean install, users listed in the system
configuration file do not have a home directory automatically created
for them in some circumstances. This causes the user to be initially
unable to login. Specifically, with a separately mounted home folder,
the folder may not be created. I note that when un-mounting /home, the
expected folder does appear.
