I believe this was fixed in bdb59b331bac0dea4a75b055334313ddc7bfecc8.
Now I get:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix package -e '(@@ (gnu packages tex) texlive-texmf)' -n
The following package would be installed:
   texlive-texmf        2016    /gnu/store/qnz85bcaw899rkv1bpgb0121ma5b9vzk-texlive-texmf-2016

substitute: updating list of substitutes from 'https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org'... 100.0%

Guix requests a substitute for “texlive-texmf” even though it is marked
as not substitutable.  This is a problem for many users because hydra
does not offer a substitute for this package.  Users have to pass
“--fallback” to make Guix build the package from source.

Only the “texlive-texmf” package is marked as not substitutable.
