As a followup, I pushed this patch:

  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=e78275608065ef073775fabb9f1a757da65851f2

Its effect is to prevent removal of ‘.guix-authorizations’ since doing
that would trivially force the authentication code to fall back to
‘default-authorizations’.

    git-authenticate: Prevent removal of '.guix-authorizations'.
    
    * guix/git-authenticate.scm (commit-authorized-keys)
    [parents-have-authorizations-file?, assert-parents-lack-authorizations]:
    New procedures.
    Use the latter before returning DEFAULT-AUTHORIZATIONS.
    * guix/git.scm (false-if-git-not-found): Export.
    * guix/tests/git.scm (populate-git-repository): Add 'remove' clause.
    * tests/git-authenticate.scm ("signed commits, .guix-authorizations removed"):
    New test.
