If I'm understanding this correctly the former is 'guix home container' not 
providing a
fundamental file to make the environment work, while the latter is bash 
ignoring this
fundamental file, or at least being able to handle the fact its missing (this 
seems more
of an accidental feature than a bug :)). I checked on the guix bug tracker and 
it seems that
this two bugs haven't been reported yet. Now I'm going to update and to create 
a minimal 
reproducible example and try to report the two.

Thanks for the help
Mario
