Hey Danny, Sorry for the delay in response. I saw no behavior change until I added the (mount? #f) line. This fixed a number of services, but d-bus fails to start. I encounter further issues including X Server failing to start and the inability to log in (when I type in a valid username it immediately fails 3 times and prints the standard message... I don't have password hashes in my config, but IIRC last time I installed guix I was able to log in without setting a password either imperatively or declaratively). Due to the latter issue I was unable to test the program you posted, but it sounds like Ludovic was able to describe what would happen if I had been able to? I assume the non-d-bus errors are related to the lack of d-bus.
I uploaded a new video of my startup at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bVdiCM1BKAmY-1y1XydI4ol7BCCkQ2Xk/view?usp=drivesdk It's ~50s long, but seconds 20-45 are the system retrying d-bus a number of times.
