Well, from my understanding, doing this:
GUIX_PROFILE=$HOME/.config/guix/current
. $GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile
allows to have the guix commands that refer to the latest version “guix
pull”’ed. Moreover, you also have the last version of the manual with:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
export INFOPATH="$HOME/.config/guix/current/share/info${INFOPATH:+:}$INFOPATH"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
To me, the manual is right for this part. Maybe I am missing something.

Did you run “guix pull” as regular user?
All the best,
