bug#47115: Failure building grub-img.png when reconfiguring

I believe that I have identified the problematic difference in my operating system config between my working and non-working hosts. After applying the following patch to my operating system config (good and bad versions attatched), I was able to successfully reconfigure with guix 8ec0ca8faff62f

Still on the same VM, I've been able to reproduce the problem while building a different derivation: /gnu/store/07xw2pp63xin4c4y8ndrcdn3n8z1vmx2-grub-image.png.drv from Guix commit d4e29f3628ad0c7576d7cab659d7fcc19d21999a. I can still build the new derivation on my desktop. Hrm, it's a pretty

In an effort to clear out more of the potentially problematic store items, I switched to an older generation of the system as well as guix pull and user profiles. I then ran guix gc. At this point, I was running guix from commit 373e5fc96724fd38bb1263e4af90932ea36f596b and the system profile was
