Then no getty is running.

Please add 

    (mingetty-service-type config =>
                           (mingetty-configuration
                            (inherit config)
                            (tty "/dev/ttyS0")))))

to (services ...) in vm-config-desktop.scm .

Maybe agetty instead of mingetty, I forgot...

That should start a login thingie on the serial.
