I've pushed this with commit af2d6ec092 to master:

modified   guix/self.scm
@@ -410,7 +410,10 @@ a list of extra files, such as '(\"contributing\")."
             ;; Limit thread creation by 'n-par-for-each'.  Going beyond can

           (mkdir #$output)
           (copy-recursively #$documentation "."

To guard about the occasional failures we were still hitting building
the latest manuals for the website.

It won't become effective until the 'guix' used by the berlin gets
updated though.

Closing,

Maxim
