The issue still remains (with and without glibc-locales):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
~/src/guix$ guix shell --pure less glibc glibc-locales
~/src/guix [env]$ less gnu/packages/java-xml.scm
"gnu/packages/java-xml.scm" may be a binary file.  See it anyway? 
…

~/src/guix [env]$ echo $GUIX_LOCPATH
/gnu/store/654wv1gyw1r2gpcwggmn8spbcrq5b9vq-profile/lib/locale
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Furthermore, I consider that nonfree software must be eradicated.

Cheers,
Bruno.
