This is because of the geiser upgrade from 0.11.2 to 0.12.

Andre Alexandre made an upstream issue here [1].

I think, there is a comment in the emacs-guix code that geiser leaves
a socket file after closing and deletes it before starting a repl.
Maybe this is the behavior that has changed in geiser 0.12?
