My guess is that, because a Guix system init installs some stuff in
steps, one of these steps ended up requiring too much space, that would
be bullet point 3 above. You can check that it's not 1 or 2 by, once
you reproduce this bug, going to tty3 (using ctrl+alt+f3), and typing
`lsblk` to check which partition is mounted where. In the meantime, I
would probably recommend adding some space for /.
