this seems to be the case:

$ guix environment -C bash --ad-hoc emacs-xwidget
[env]$ ldd $(readlink -f $(type -p emacs)) |grep webkit
	libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37 => /gnu/store/3qfw8flc5rd063pz7m30g77zc9sacphf-webkitgtk-2.26.4/lib/libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37 (0x00007f59243ea000)
	libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0.so.18 => /gnu/store/3qfw8flc5rd063pz7m30g77zc9sacphf-webkitgtk-2.26.4/lib/libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0.so.18 (0x00007f5922f04000)

$ guix environment -C bash --ad-hoc emacs
[env]$ ldd $(readlink -f $(type -p emacs)) |grep webkit
  => nothing

so, I think this can be closed.
