I tried to create a minimal reproducer by editing the user-account in
'gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl' with the name "Tsarina Baelarina
Nina".

Guix did the right thing, and created a single directory called
'/home/Tsarina Baelarina Nina/', without the bogus subdirectories.

So, if it is caused by Guix, it's not the basic user-account tooling
that does it.
