I just came across this today too on a GuixSD system. `guix package -u`
warned that my not-yet-upstream "icedtea-web" package does not exist,
but had no problem with "chromium" installed the same way.

No GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH, and ~/.config/guix/latest is a symlink to a `guix
pull` build. The packages were installed through `./pre-inst-env`.
