It appears your patch fixes the issue. I admire the speed at which you write patches. :) Thank you!

I rebooted the broken and then the working generation repeatedly twelve times. I waited varying amounts of time before doing Ctrl+Alt+Del in the broken generation. /etc/shadow is still in good health.

Is there a good reason shepherd calls disable-reboot-on-ctrl-alt-del at the end? I get recovering journal messages unless on the previous boot I waited for the whole GDM to start (I can login on the TTY before GDM has fully started), which takes a long time during which users could change their mind and decide they do not want to boot. (The Macbook is not fast anyway and Guix is even slower when booting compared to Debian.) Regards, Florian
