This seems to be ok so far.

If I get you right, then the problem is introduced when you add the
package definition to cran.scm, since
./pre-inst-env guix package -i hello worked.

Since essentially everything is broken by the change, it is most
probable that you have some forms that
is not closed properly.
I would at first check for mismatching parenthesis.

If you can see nothing suspicious, then could you send a diff, so that
I can have a look?
