Maybe. Here's an interesting twist: I thought I would try produce a patch 
to move that definition. From a up-to-date checkout (commit 
177bc62d63e89a1ce2f255879bca1fdc5f3769f1), I ran:

  guix environment guix
  ./bootstrap
  ./configure --localstatedir=/var
  make
  ./pre-inst-env guix package --show=openssh

And there is no error even though the definition had not been moved.

However, if I guix pull to the same commit, the problem persists.
