It is definitely not specific to cuirass, as I only noticed it with
"guix build" of a custom package that would not possibly have
substitutes, and only later checked the substitute servers
(ci.guix.gnu.org, bordeax.guix.gnu.org) to see that they had the same
problem...

That is consistent with what I observed too!
