You have right. It is a bug.


The manifest contains:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(specifications->manifest
  '("emacs"
    "git"
    "guile"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


Let create 2 profiles: one using the --manifest option and the other
one by plain --install.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix package -m /tmp/manif.scm -p /tmp/kikoo-manif
guix package -i emacs git guile -p /tmp/kikoo-nomanif
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


And here we are...

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
grep provenance /tmp/kikoo-manif/manifest

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

versus

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
grep provenance /tmp/kikoo-nomanif/manifest
        (provenance
        (provenance
        (provenance
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


All the best,
