[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I figured out what was causing the issue and it's not a bug.

I had to disable the guix-defaults for the home-bash-configuration as explained here https://issues.guix.gnu.org/67652 since they were already declared within a local file.

I have to retract my last message. After a few guix pull and guix system reconfigure I'm still getting the same behavior.
