I can’t reproduce it on current master (I had to comment out
‘%base-services-hurd’ and ‘%base-packages-hurd’.)

Could it be that you’re using a special branch?

Could you try:

  guix system init --on-error=repl …

to try and get more info at the REPL?  (For instance, you can type
“,locals” at the REPL to examine the local variables at a given frame.)

TIA,
Ludo’.
