The problem is that gdm can not find a CJK fonts.
you can try:
(modify-services %desktop-services
(gdm-service-type
config => (gdm-configuration
(inherit config)
(gnome-shell-assets
(list adwaita-icon-theme
;; the below is a CJK font
font-wqy-microhei)))))
Maybe we should add an example to guix document.
