Yes, but that’s expected: we’re not specifying any commit, only the URL,
so there cannot be any sort of fallback.

#1 happens, but only when channels are pinned (returned by ‘guix
#describe’).
Re #2, I don’t think there’s such a bug, is there? In the example
below, ‘guix describe’ shows 4 channels (including dependencies), not 2:

$ ./pre-inst-env guix time-machine -C <(echo '(cons (channel (name (quote
bimsb)) (url "https://github.com/BIMSBbioinfo/guix-bimsb.git"))
%default-channels)') -- describe -f channels
[...]
