Yes!  It looks like (at least) rendering ‘description’ doesn't 
account for the length of the "description: " prefix itself, 
making the first line too long.  That confuses less and/or makes 
it wrap non-deterministically.

After invoking ‘guix search foo’, name and version are missing, 
and:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
description: This package aims to provide a one-stop solution to 
requirements for footnotes.  It offers: Multiple footnote
+ apparatus superior to that of `manyfoot'.  Footnotes can be 
formatted in separate paragraphs, or be run into a
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

After scrolling down and then up:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
description: This package aims to provide a one-stop solution to 
requirements for footnotes.  It offers: Multiple footnoteus 
superior to that of `manyfoot'.  Footnotes can be formatted in 
separate paragraphs, or be run into a
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

(‘footnoteus’).  The description ‘shrinks’ by 2 lines, making room 
for the name and version fields at the top.
