Bash shouldn’t want to load libX11.so.6.  I wonder what prints this
line.  Is your bashrc telling the shell to load extra libraries?  Could
you share the output of “env” perhaps?

This shouldn’t matter.  Guix will not use things that are on your system
unless you force it (e.g. via LD_LIBRARY_PATH).
