The root cause of the problem is the mutability of URLs. The solution is
to move on to immutable references. Such as git commits.

My impression is that tarballs are the preferred source code reference
used in Guix today, with git commits used only when there is no release
tarball. Is that an official policy, or just historical accident?
If a policy, what's the reason for it?

Cheers,
  Konrad.
