I believe the short explanation for this is that I made a mistake when
changing the NGinx configuration for bordeaux.guix.gnu.org, which
prevented it from serving nar files for a few minutes earlier today.

The longer explanation is that this is the error I'd expect when guix
finds a narinfo for a store item it wants to substitute, but can't fetch
the nar. Maybe it's possible to handle that scenario more gracefully,
but generally it doesn't happen, it only happens when substitute servers
misbehave.
