That's not the issue here, the issue is that you're treating mingetty-
configuration as… I'm not really sure what exactly, when it is in fact
a record constructor.
Try the following:
#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
(define (auto-login-to-tty tty user)
;; TODO: you might want to implement this as match-lambda instead
(lambda (config)
(if (string=? tty (mingetty-configuration-tty mingetty-config))
(mingetty-configuration
(inherit config)
(auto-login user))
config)))
(define %my-desktop-services
(modify-services %desktop-services
(mingetty-service-type config =>
(auto-login-
to-tty "3" "joshua"))))
#+END_SRC
> #+BEGIN_SRC scheme

> mingetty-service))
Don't quote mingetty-configuration et al. They're first-class syntax,
not just weird lists.

I don't think you need to implement modify-services on your own, rather
just use the existing thing in the "correct" way – i.e. adhering to the
expectations given by the already existing procedure (or macro).
