I don’t think it has anything to do with that.  Seems more like a
problem in our code that would only manifest under special
circumstances—we just need to find out what makes them special.  :-)

That looks like <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/53594>.  I don’t have a
good hypothesis for that yet, but I’m guessing it’s stateful: the bug
manifests if some things are missing from the store.

Could you try:

  guix time-machine --commit=a7b20226b2 -- build hello --no-grafts

If it works, does the same command without ‘--no-grafts’ work
afterwards?
