Hi,

With Guix at e217174b7b9046658ac3474d522bde192e9cffb4I have an issue
with the "guix shell -p ..." command, where I end up in a environment
for a profile I used previously instead of the profile specified in the
command line.

I can reproduce the issue this way:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# Clear the profile cache
rm ${HOME}/.cache/guix/profiles/*

# Make some profiles
mkdir a
echo "(specifications->manifest '(\"gforth\"))" > a/manifest.scm
guix package -m a/manifest.scm -p a/profile
mkdir b
echo "(specifications->manifest '(\"smalltalk\"))" > b/manifest.scm
guix package -m b/manifest.scm -p b/profile

# The first attempt at using a profile when the cache is empty fails
guix shell -q -p a/profile -- gforth
