What I wrote above is actually wrong. $TEXMFSYSVAR does not point to the
store, but to "{/gnu/...", which means "lualatex" creates a "{"
directory in the current working directory. It is silly (and has been
reported already[¹]), but at least the cache can be written to the disk.
I'm not sure yet there's a problem on the Guix side. Font configuration
can be tricky.
