Following up on the thread from guix-devel:
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2015-07/msg00554.html>
On 0.8.3-pre, after a clean install, users listed in the system
configuration file do not have a home directory automatically created
for them in some circumstances. This causes the user to be initially
unable to login. Specifically, with a separately mounted home folder,
the folder may not be created. I note that when un-mounting /home, the
expected folder does appear.

I’m happy to report that this is finally fixed, in commit
ae763b5b0b7d5e7316a3d0efe991fe8ab2261031.
>From now on, home directories of non-system users are created when the
‘file-systems’ Shepherd service is up, i.e., when all the file systems
have been mounted.
Let me know if you spot anything wrong!
