The bug you're describing concerns an old version of Guix System with
an old version of GNOME.  While the interface has been changed, I
believe, that this might have been fixed at some point between then and
now.  
Using gnome-desktop-service on a fairly up-to-date Guix System,
entering the "Region and Language" settings and clicking on the "eye"
icon of an input source, I do see a keyboard layout being spawned even
without that command being (visibly) provided.

Does the same hold for you? Can this bug be closed?

Regards, Leo
