This is the root cause; its meaning:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guile-user)> ,use(zstd)
scheme@(guile-user)> (error-name 18446744073709551544)
$23 = "Src size is incorrect"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Downloading and uncompressing the same thing works like this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ wget -qO - https://ci.guix.gnu.org/nar/zstd/rbb9h501zyf8mg1hz47plql80gsl99za-apr-1.7.0 | zstd -d |sha256sum
e15bd1d4f4628969c461d99e23d27d76fb0d77b709eb393b9b2b2bcac67a8b19 -
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Likewise with Guile + Guile-zstd:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ wget -qO - https://ci.guix.gnu.org/nar/zstd/rbb9h501zyf8mg1hz47plql80gsl99za-apr-1.7.0 | guile -c '(use-modules (zstd) (guix build utils)) (call-with-zstd-input-port (current-input-port) (lambda (port) (dump-port port (current-output-port))))' | sha256sum
e15bd1d4f4628969c461d99e23d27d76fb0d77b709eb393b9b2b2bcac67a8b19 -
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
So my guess is that the connection was closed early for some reason,
leading to a decompression error down the road.

The bug here is that Guix should (1) handle transient networking issues
gracefully, and (2) retry downloads instead of aborting.
To be continued…
Thanks for reporting the issue!
