home-directory produces wrong /etc/passwd |

Hello Guix,
I've added a guix-offload user to my system, because I've found that
‘~/.guile’ with following content break ‘guix offload’.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(use-modules (ice-9 readline))
;; Enable completion at the REPL.
(activate-readline)
;; Colorize
(use-modules (ice-9 colorized))
(activate-colorized)
(define-macro (try function)
`(catch 'quit (lambda () ,function) (const #f)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I choose a ‘/var/run/guix-offload’ for guix-offload's home directory:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(operating-system
(groups (cons* …
(user-group (name "guix-offload"))
%base-groups))
(users (cons* …
(user-account
(name "guix-offload")
(uid 1982)
(group "guix-offload")
(home-directory "/var/run/guix-offload"))
%base-user-accounts))
…
)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
but I cannot login to ‘guix-offload’ user with ‘sudo -u guix-offload -i’:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
sudo: unable to change directory to /home/guix-offload: No such file or
directory
sudo: unable to execute
/gnu/store/q4b3s9y4i0da36drp7zfq9yqcf43s47v-bash-4.4.19/bin/bash: No such file
or directory
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and a ‘getent’ program confirms home directory is wrong:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
address@hidden ~$ getent passwd guix-offload
guix-offload:x:1982:30002::/home/guix-offload:/gnu/store/q4b3s9y4i0da36drp7zfq9yqcf43s47v-bash-4.4.19/bin/bash
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Choosing ‘(home-directory "/home/guix-offload")’ is a workaround.

Sorry for overlooking this bug report. Someone reported the very same
issue on IRC a few days ago and commit
b297934437932de730432629b361fcb422accbb7 fixes it.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
