I got a report showing this:

This corresponds to GnuTLS exception ‘error/premature-termination’ while
connecting to a substitute server, from ‘fetch-narinfos’.
Why ‘handshake’ fails, I don’t know, but at any rate ‘guix substitute’
shouldn’t error out when that happens; preferably, it should skip that
substitute server and keep going, like it does for other transient
networking errors in ‘call-with-connection-error-handling’.
