I see you pushed some fixes for this (I didn't try with -r as that kept running for a while and might have tried to generate a whole lot of the dependency tree), thanks! I do get an import for xetex now.

And on that note I see cbf731ae481b434e657b05c80b4a32282e5d112b which adds texlive-xetex.

I can confirm with guix shell texlive-base texlive-fontspec texlive-xetex -- xelatex test.tex the output pdf has proper quotation marks and the log looks clean.

Many thanks!
John
