I guess this bug had been fixed since then.  Do you still have it?

Aside, I am not able to reproduce it:

    guix time-machine -q --commit=e4aabf42b33346849cb565199cfafc49d4f0aeff \
      -- time-machine -q --commit=46a64c7fdd057283063aae6df058579bb07c4b6a \
      -- describe

This passes for me.

Cheers,
simon
