Sorry to reply to a months-old message…  and thanks for waiting.  :-)

What you describe above would be a bug, but it seems there’s no longer
any such bug:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guile-user)> ,m (gnu packages python)
scheme@(gnu packages python)> (package-search-paths python-matplotlib)
$2 = ()
scheme@(gnu packages python)> (package-transitive-native-search-paths 
python-matplotlib)
$3 = (#<<search-path-specification> variable: "GI_TYPELIB_PATH" files: 
("lib/girepository-1.0") separator: ":" file-type: directory file-pattern: #f> 
#<<search-path-specification> variable: "PYTHONPATH" files:

#<<search-path-specification> variable: "GIO_EXTRA_MODULES" files:

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Could you confirm?
