Yes, this is a daemon bug pending a fix:
<https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/122>.

In the meantime, you can hopefully work around it by deleting the
already-present output–i.e., by running either:

  guix gc --delete /nix/store/wbsypglflcy7fi08h4finffjy9mqzh12-libtool-2.4.2

or

  guix gc --delete /nix/store/g1wl3hkiykindg7xjl05r57vim6jsyki-libtool-2.4.2-bin

HTH,
