My bad, I read that as specifications->manifest.  Note that for
specifications->package, you could simply specify hello on the command
line.

Having tested your file now, I can say that guix shell builds hello as
expected, whereas with specifications->manifest, it produces a lovely
backtrace (which is more or less what one ought to expect).

One thing to check here is whether a cache might be interfering.  I
think it is an already known bug, that the file itself is not key in
the cache, which you can work around by specifying --rebuild-cache.
