I managed to narrow down the problem. If I install Doom Emacs, Guix's
EMACSLOADPATH doesn't seem to be loaded at all into the load-path
variable. This can be fixed with:

(mapc (lambda (p) (add-load-path! p)) (split-string (getenv "EMACSLOADPATH") 
":"))

At this point it doesn't complain about that contrib path not being
found. To get there, I pulled my config [1] and ran `doom sync`.

The next time I fired up Emacs and I tried to run
`guix-emacs-autoload-packages` it started to complain about that path.
So I guess somewhere in that processes it screws up the load-path even
more if it manages to add "$GUIX_PROFILE/share/emacs/site-lisp/contrib"
in there.

Since I couldn't find anything actually there or using that path, for
now I have this in my config:

(delete (concat (getenv "HOME") "/.guix-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp/contrib") 
load-path)

I still have no idea why is the thing behaving the way that it is since
I never had issues like this with the same config on my other machine.
If you have any pointers as to what might have happened or had similar
problems yourself I would love to hear from you.
