Yes, I’ve fixed this on the staging branch for the gnome-shell package.
This also fixes another crash we saw when displaying notifications.

[Message part 4 (text/plain, inline)]

On one system running GuixSD, Gnome Shell crashes when opening the
activities overview (super key, or clicking on the activities button in
the top left).
