There was indeed a bug in our package of Syncthing 1.29.2, that has been
fixed:

Thanks for pointing this out. I did test the service, but the code
containing that typo was not exercised in my testing, and it seems that
nobody tested that feature at all :(

Fixed in this commit:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=8bc831325a905dbd9015739b58e3a5138d2217da

Does the service work for you with these changes? Let us know so we can
decide whether to close this bug or keep it open.
