I sent a patch against guile: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=36677 If you’d like to try it in guix, here’s a patch to apply the patch to guile-next, though I guess to make it apply to the build daemon you’d have to apply it to gnu/packages/guile.scm:guile/fixed. Happy to submit a patch to do that.
