Nice! thanks for the quick fix. I tested guix-issue-57050-v2 and now
chez-scheme-for-racket-bootstrap-bootfiles builds successfully!
Unfortunately there's still a holdup: the install phase of
racket-vm-cs-8.6 fails:

Apparently some part of the racket-vm-cs build system thinks that it's
cross-compiling when it's not. I'm still trying to figure out where this
“--cross-compiler” argument is being added but thought I'd provide an
early report.

As I mentioned above, I'm testing the guix-issue-57050-v2 tag so I
believe I'm covered. My test consists of simply doing
“./pre-inst-env guix build racket”.
