With the introduction of “cache bypass” for ‘guix publish --cache’ in
commit 2b2ab7796ac186d88060793b8873fc0e21462758, ‘guix publish’ can
crash like so:

The first wget here, leads to this call in ‘render-nar/cached’:

  (hash-part->path store "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee")
  ⇒ ""

and in turn to:

  (bypass-cache? store "")
    (query-path-info store "")

at which point the daemon throws and closes the connection.

Further attempts to access the store all lead to EPIPE as shown above.
At this point, ‘guix publish’ can only serve what’s already cached.
