Apparently no. I did a pull and reconfigure and the behaviour is the same as I
described.

    $ guix describe
    Generation 53   Sep 12 2023 20:49:03    (current)
      guix 4cb2e08
        repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
        branch: master
        commit: 4cb2e08b8eb1acc824b72ec17b483d7d85b5af68

Running my compilations in a pure environment with

    guix shell --pure texlive-scheme-medium texlive-collection-...

leads to the same behaviour, and the same with --container. Not sure how to
investigate this further.
