Are you refering to the tarball 0.10.1 of gnunet and gnunet-gtk
or are you refering to the package used on Guix's side? I try to
dig into the buggy package I delivered with gnunet-gtk, and what
I see is that gnunet-0.10.1 is used as well as the 0.10.1 I
packaged for gnunet-gtk.
For testing purposes I need gnunet lastest svn checkout anyhow,
so a more recent version of gnunet will folow.

I just installed gnunet-gtk:
gnunet-gtk v0.10.1 release

So, yes they are. The issue might be at some other point I tried
to point out in another email I send.
