It works for me:
/ssh:raisin:/home/mcournoyer/ #$ guix describe
guix 598f728
repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
branch: master
commit: 598f7289db9955584457ffc11c8504f3938a1618
The remote machine is a Guix System though. If it as something else, it
could be more tricky, as then the shell used may not be Bash *compiled
with a non-default option* [0] to source ~/.bashrc on SSH connections.

To force interactive mode, you could also use 'ssh remote bash -l'.
I've also written script with the shebang:
#/usr/bin/env -S bash -l
This works where 'env' is new enough to accept -S. Useful in Jenkins
shell snippets for example.
Anyway, I hope that helps. I don't see a bug here.
Closing.
