Does setting LC_ALL instead of LANG help?  The LC_* variables take
precedence over LANG.

setting LC_ALL didn't work. Same error.

Did a strace on it just to see what's going on.

Here's the last part just before it exits

open("/run/current-system/locale/2.25/en_US.UTF-8/LC_IDENTIFICATION", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/run/current-system/locale/2.25/en_US.utf8/LC_IDENTIFICATION", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/run/current-system/locale/2.25/en_US/LC_IDENTIFICATION", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/run/current-system/locale/2.25/en.UTF-8/LC_IDENTIFICATION", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/run/current-system/locale/2.25/en.utf8/LC_IDENTIFICATION", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/run/current-system/locale/2.25/en/LC_IDENTIFICATION", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
write(2, "Failed to set locale.\n", 22) = 22
exit_group(1)                           = ?
+++ exited with 1 +++

It's looking for locale specific things in /run/current-system. Which Arch doesn't have. Is that a GuixSD specific thing?  Don't have GuixSD installed at the moment so cannot check myself.

I've attached the whole strace log incase there's something more.

Not sure about this one; it seems harmless though.
