As it turns out, what happens is this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
creating partition table with 2 partitions (1351.0 MiB, 40.0 MiB)....
Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance..

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Unfortunately, as noted in <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/34276>,
that still produces an image, albeit a broken image.

I’m merging the bugs.

To be continued…
