This looks wrong to me.  If this works, I think it's only by accident.
Check out the docstring for modify-services in gnu/services.scm, which
says:

  Modify the services listed in SERVICES according to CLAUSES and return
  the resulting list of services.  Each clause must have the form:

    (TYPE VARIABLE => BODY)

So, every clause after modify-services needs to have that form.  This
may also be the reason why the length of your %my-services is the same
as %desktop-services.  I think maybe the gnome-desktop-service and the
agetty-service-type service you've created are just being ignored
somehow.

Does this make sense?
