Both of those worked for me before the update using this manifest:

   #!/usr/bin/env -S guix shell -m
   !#

   ;;; Recipe to provide GNU Emacs through Guix

   (use-modules
       (guix channels))

   ;; DNR-CI(Krey): Needs handling to keep the hash up-to-date
   (list (channel
          (name 'guix)
           (url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git")
           (commit
             "f1bfd9f1948a5ff336d737c0614b9a30c2bb3097")
           (introduction
             (make-channel-introduction
               "9edb3f66fd807b096b48283debdcddccfea34bad"
               (openpgp-fingerprint
                 "BBB0 2DDF 2CEA F6A8 0D1D  E643 A2A0 6DF2 A33A 54FA")))))

   (specifications->manifest
       (list
         "freecad"
         ;; DEP(Krey): Used for working with openscad designs
         "openscad"
         ;; DEP(Krey): Required for working with FEM workbench
         "gmsh"))
