Not reproducible using the latest Guix:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix system build /tmp/os.scm
/tmp/os.scm:12:14: warning: the 'target' field is deprecated, please use 'targets' instead
/tmp/os.scm:5:0: error: missing root file system
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Closing.

Thanks!

Note that 'guix system init ...' and maybe other commands don't work
too. 'guix system vm' with the above config file works without a
backtrace.

This is on guix 1.1.0 running on Fedora 32. I also tried to 'guix pull'
but the result is the same.
