It should be noted that you were using a “developer setup”, specifically
running Guix from a checkout with ./pre-inst-env and all.

The issue with the stale module wouldn’t happen with “guix pull”, which
is the recommended “user setup.”

While I agree the situation is not ideal, I think we have to admit that
developers can always shoot themselves in the foot, and that was one way
of doing it.  ;-)

Thoughts?
