I saw that the guix-publish service on my Guix System desktop wasn't running
correctly so I went to restart it. I ran 'herd restart guix-publish' and
my machine instantly started to shut down.

Sounds scary.  Could you provide more info, for example
/var/log/messages?

Thanks,

Looking over /var/log/messages I'm pretty sure this is the relevant part
(which doesn't look so helpful to me):

I just tried to replicate this and restarted the guix-publish daemon on my
machine a couple of times and no crash. Restarting the guix-daemon also
didn't make my machine crash. I'm closing this bug, will revisit if it
happens again.
