The 1.3.0 installer is a bit old and many issues, including the one you
are experimenting have been fixed.

Could you please retry with the latest installer available here:
https://guix.gnu.org/en/download/latest/

Thanks,

Mathieu

Step 6: Create three partitions with parted

Step 6.3 I suggest Swap partition 3 size 10 GB

Step 7: Make file system partition formats
Step 7.1: EFI partition mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sda1
Step 7.2: system partition mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2
