When the target machine has no signing keys (generated with “guix
archive --generate-key”) the source machine issuing “guix offload test”
will print this confusing error message:

guix offload: error: implementation cannot deal with > 32-bit integers

Sadly still true as of 1.4.0rc2. I'd like to fix it, but it's
intertwined in the guix-daemon C++ code, so it'll need a bit more
effort.
