I am not sure whether this is intended behavior, but it seems weird to 
me. Inside e.g.

guix shell -Cu test coreutils

/home/test is mounted read-only and I do not see any way to make it 
writable without sharing a host directory.

I added a “Fixes” line referencing the initial bug report and applied
all three patches.  Thanks!

  11e88de060 * environment: Make home writable.
  7a888d9841 * environment: Translate only file names under home directory.
  8654aecf74 * environment: Use inherit for new mapping.
