I guess that means 'transferred' is #false somehow.
Looking at guix/status.scm, maybe the following is important:

>                         (= string->number transferred))

string->number returns #f if the input is malformed, so I guess that
is what happens. I don't know _how_ that happens though.

Detecting #f somewhere and emitting a warning or error like
‘warning: ‘the malformed string’, representing the number of
transferred bytes, is malformed’ would be better. Fixing the underlying
error would be ideal.

I think I've seen this reported before, though I cannot find it again.

Greetings,
Maxime.
