It appears as though core-updates isn't installing locales 
correctly, as I'm getting warnings all over the place about 
unsupported locales:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
~/src/guix-core-updates $ echo $LANG
en_US.utf8
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Starting Emacs:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

by C library.
       Using the fallback 'C' locale.

Hi,

Fixed in 4f4c38c881d4224dc545c82253d2a8f631f95927 (you’ll need to
reconfigure).

The reason for those “unsupported locales” is that glibc 2.35 locale
data is ignored by your previously-installed glibc 2.33 programs:

Thanks!
