When attempting:

$ guix package --fallback -i biber

This is the interesting part of the output:

The other parts are related to unescaped left braces, because Perl now
changed how the regular expressions work in the language of the same
name.

Using Guix 3694c0d, the package 'biber' (now at 2.12) builds for me.

Does it build for you?

Considering this, I am closing.  If I miss something, feel free to
reopen.
