Illegible GRUB menu |

On my Thinkpad x200s running GuixSD, the graphical GRUB menu is
scrambled and illegible. I've attached a photograph of the problem.
The grid of dots is stable, while the faint yellow horizontal lines
dance around. I can tell it's the GuixSD GRUB image, but it's scrambled.
I am able to press Enter to skip the GRUB timeout, and the system does
boot normally.
This is not a recent regression; I've been working around it with the
diff below for a few months now.
I don't know very much about computer graphics. Please let me know what
information I can provide.

This bug seems to affect only my machine.
Since it is possible to work around the issue by using a non-graphical
GRUB menu, I'm closing the bug :)
Thanks everyone for your feedback!
