The latter will include a D-Bus policy file for "fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1", which wpa-supplicant-service-type also tries to register. As a workaround, you can set (dbus? #f) in wpa-supplicant-configuration, or remove 'wpa-supplicant' from the system packages. If you want wpa-supplicant installed globally, you can use 'wpa-supplicant-minimal' instead. Can you confirm? Not sure how we can make this more robust. The easiest fix is probably to default to (dbus? #f); the only program I know that use the D-Bus interface is NetworkManager, which has its own service in Guix.
