Hmm, don't both of these hard-code one profile?  I thought one can use
any number of profiles - and this patch could definitely pick from the
wrong one.  Why isn't the PLUGINS_USER setting enough?  Can't it be
provided via environment variables?  (set by the profile)

Also, shouldn't PYTHONPATH already have been set by the profile?  For me,
it is set (to ~/.guix-profile/lib/python3.6/site-packages) when I log in.
