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---
~/src/guix-core-updates $ emacs

(process:5828): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:06:55.544: Locale not supported 
by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Or herd:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
~/src/guix-core-updates $ herd status
guile: warning: failed to install locale
