Sure, the log has been dumped somewhere, but it's dumped in the build
directory instead of the build log of the Guix package. It would be
quite convenient if there were some kind of flag or something (that is
enabled in the package definition) to dump dump it to stderr. Or just
some ad-hoc:
(guard (c ((invoke-error? c)
[copy all tests/*.log to stderr]
(raise-continuable c)))
[run tests]).
Alternatively, Cuirass could copy some parts of failed builds and
present them in the UI.

It's actually possible to have the test harness copy the errors to the
output directly, via

Toggle snippet (3 lines)
make check SCM_LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS="--errors-only=yes" VERBOSE=1

I guess we could have these switch enabled by default (perhaps with
'--brief=no' as well) set by default, as they are useful in most
contexts.

For more information, see info "(guix) Running the Test Suite".
