Commit 23784f0c3342a0fab5bf2a1c15c300b9f0856872 fixes it in a crude but
efficient way.  :-)

Commit 09b7300c01a8e7100467c6caae9b2c8d8e673971 also helps.

From there I can spawn a ‘guix system container’ script just fine.  The
tty services fail to start, but that’s fine, we don’t need them; you can
still enter the container namespaces, run “herd status” etc.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
