I've tracked this down to 'gash-boot'.  Namely the use of ,(version): it
evaluates to '2.2.6' when run with ./pre-inst-env and "3.0.0" after
'guix pull'.

I suspect both are wrong, and that it really intends to use the version
of gash here.  Timothy, can you confirm?

Currently trying to 'guix pull' with a hard coded "2.2.6" version to
see if other instances need changing.
