This was fixed earlier today in
7da907f90e74a4edf96d76ee457ff958265ef8d4.  My bad!

The effect was that services were not upgraded live after ‘reconfigure’,
but the new generation was properly installed (you can see it in
‘guix system list-generations’ and in the GRUB menu when you reboot).

Thanks for reporting it!

Ludo’.
