you are missing a ") (user-account)" here.
cons* takes a number of elements and in the last place a list
(%base-user-accounts) and concatenates them into one list:
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/List-Constructors.html#index-cons_002a
And "user-account" is (I suppose) the constructor of a Guix record
the fields of which are name, comment and so on. Pay attention to the
parentheses :)

I also restarted, but the problem persisted.

There's too much information for me: I can't come to a conclusion about
what I might try.

I'll create a test user to see if it works for me too.
I'm not sure what syntax to use for more than one user.
For two users, should we do:
(users (cons* (user-account
(name "bob")
(comment "Alice's bro")
(group "users")
(home-directory "/home/bob")
(supplementary-groups '("wheel"
"netdev" "audio" "video"))
(name "alice")
(comment "Bob's sister")
(group "users")
(home-directory "/home/alice")
(supplementary-groups '("wheel"
"netdev" "audio" "video")))
%base-user-accounts))

There are no custom "~/.config/shepherd/init.scm" in my home
directory.

No, it would be one «user-account» object per user. Like this:
(users
(cons*
(user-account ...)
(user-account ...)
%base-user-accounts))
Then, after reconfiguring and rebooting, you can give a password to the
new user by changing to TTY2, for example, and using the passwd command
like this:
sudo passwd name_of_the_new_user
