Well, it is expected.  And now all is clear.  Explanations starting
there:

   <http://logs.guix.gnu.org/guix/2020-12-07.log#211011>

Quickly said, the initial code was assuming Debian-like kernel patches
as Vagrant reported and this is not in the linux-libre source code with
a wrong Guix error message.

One bug is still there. :-)


All the best,
