could this not be considered a bug in "guix refresh"? For updating, I find
it much clearer to keep the version in one place and then bump it with a
one-line commit to try a comprehensive upgrade.

I do not know how it works inside Guile, but I really thought the two
would be completely equivalent and create the exact same package object,
which would then be analysed by "guix refresh".
