BTW, you can also use "M-x guix-profiles" to see a list of profiles (and
press "h" there for a hint).

Thank you for the report!  But since it is not a Guix bug, please report
such problems at one of Emacs-Guix trackers:

Since you use melpa, I think you can upgrade Emacs-Guix from melpa to
check if the change works.
