Fine.

Sorry, today was a bad day and  I failed in multi-tasking.
Well, I have tried to use the Guix package 'metis' instead of the
bundled one -- without success about the test suite.  Then when
sending the patch, I missed the remove (my personal unsafe-threading
;-)).  So the package v2 fixes that.  But the '(modules ...)' is not
necessary anymore.

All in all, the patch v3 is the good one.  Sorry for the mess.
