I think you ought to run the above inside a `guix repl' rather than
your personal guile, where it yields a package.  As for why it doesn't
when launched from your personal guile, let me get back to you after
some investigation.

Follow-up, it appears we're abusing libgit in a manner similar to the
one fixed by 5b35c9adc899749a0bd96a0e6d2c3bbf88e38963.

I think 5b35c9adc899749a0bd96a0e6d2c3bbf88e38963 fixes the issue.

David, can you try the same thing in ‘guix repl’ instead of ‘guile’?  It
works for me.

(When you’re just running ‘guile’, you’re likely loading modules from
/run/current-system/profile/share/guile, which may come from an older
revision than the one ‘guix describe’ prints.)

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Is this bug still relevant?  Otherwise I'd suggest closing it :)

Can't reproduce in local "guix repl", so seems to me that the issue has
been fixed, so closing.  Feel free to reopen if there's stil lan issue.
