Sure; though, as I mentioned before I did try again and it did work. Doing
a pull once more I failed with:

guix substitute: error: TLS error in procedure 'handshake': Error in the
pull function.
substitution of
/gnu/store/k1da7bv579d8gvwdrakd9l4hxswknff2-guix-module-union failed
guix pull: error: some substitutes for the outputs of derivation
`/gnu/store/k2gdq7ahjaqmdgjr9xwywqpxvzazn467-guix-e07573432.drv' failed
(usually happens due to networking issues); try `--fallback' to build
derivation from source

As with before, I was also able to succeed on a subsequent pull; but this
error seemed to be handled better as it suggested both the cause of the
problem and a possible solution.
