‘guix shell -D … --export-m anifest’ behaves inconsistently
(address . bug-guix@gnu.org)

Hi!
I observe the following weird behavior, where the first invocation
wrongfully expands ‘-D gnutls’ into a list of package specs, whereas the
other invocations (only slightly different) lead to calls to
‘package->development-manifest’ as expected:
