I suspect the bug has nothing to do with ‘remote-eval’.  Namely, if the
machine you’re reconfigure is running Guix from before commit
6061d01512081c93c53fdd1d4302b36696403061 (March 2019), then restart the
‘user-homes’ services fails with this error for obscure reasons that I
forgot.

At any rate, I think the service upgrade phase happens after the
symlink-switch and bootloader installation (right?), in which case
reconfiguration is complete anyway.

HTH,
Ludo’.
