Hello.
I got this unexpected behaviour. I used `guix system reconfigure ...` to make a new system instance, used it for a while, and later booted back into the old system. I used diferent names for the user in the first and second system, let's call them sys1user and sys2user. I booted into the old system and tried to login as sys1user (the user created with that system) with it's password and this was no longer possible. root remained untouched, so I used root to change the password and login as usual. Done that I discovered I didn't have access to the files of user1. I then rebooted back into the new system, only to find the exact same problem. in /home/sys2user all files belonged to some user called 30011. I could of course change permissions for most of them using sudo, all but the all-important ~/.guix-profile. Since it's a symlink to a read-only filesystem, this was impossible.
Thanks for listening, and, sorry about the non-technical bug report.
