Sorry for the delay.

The bash thing exists, indeed:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[brown@121408 ~]$ ls -lah 
/gnu/store/pwcp239kjf7lnj5i4lkdzcfcxwcfyk72-bash-minimal-5.0.16/bin/bash
-r-xr-xr-x 2 root root 800K Jan  1  1970 
/gnu/store/pwcp239kjf7lnj5i4lkdzcfcxwcfyk72-bash-minimal-5.0.16/bin/bash
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And here's the output for that gc command:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[brown@121408 ~]$ guix gc --references
