Hi Rocardo, I guix pull'ed and grub is no longer marked as dead. "guix gc --list-dead | grep 0fijjh7qw8ppsks0ba3q9m873ljhj797" now returns nothing, while "grep unicode /boot/grub/grub.cfg" till returns the same thing.
So I guess this means it's fixed? I installed with the 1.0.1 installer I think, nothing out of the ordinary, except maybe everything being encrypted, including the /boot.
