IIRC, someone send a bug report about "guix gc --verify=content/repair"
not interacting properly with content duplication.  More precisely,
stuff in /gnu/store/.links wasn't checked for corruption.  A solution
might be, when repairing, to replace the file in /gnu/store/.links
instead of hard linking to the file therein, and when verifying,
to verify /gnu/store/.links.  I can't find the bug report anymore
though.

As a work-around, you could try deleting /gnu/store/.links
(After remounting the store read-write. I don't know how to do that,
but it should be documented somewhere I think.)

Greetings,
Maxime
