This is now mitigated in commit db746d16602f4b22ed678aaaeeb5974398d27874.

To properly fix this, as the next step, I'm leaning towards removing

emacs-nadvice package altogether. It is not useful in Guix since we

provide Emacs 28+.

WDYT?

I'm CC'ing Phodina, since he introduced the package.

Phodina: Do you think there is a reason to keep Emacs Nadvice package

around?

I know, but it seems the issue apparently disappeared when we updated

nadvice from 0.3 to 0.4, so I lazily opted for status quo while waiting

for an answer.

So, nowadays, I think it doesn't matter much if we remove the package or

not. I'll simply close this bug report unless other issues arise.

Thanks for the heads-up!
