OK, here’s the story: The installation image does include the development version, as you noticed. When you run ‘guix system init’ from the USB stick, that’s the development version that’s used, specifically commit 20b1d19. However, (@ (gnu packages package-management) guix) in commit 20b1d19 referred to Guix 0.6. Thus, you end up installing Guix 0.6. Commit 42b9b8f solves that by upgrading the development snapshot (I only tested it on x86_64 though.) Ludo’.
