Okay. I have installed this ISO in a virtual machine, following the
instructions in the manual section Installing Guix in a VM.

I logged in as a regular user, ran `guix pull`, and it completed
successfully. I also tried as root, and that worked too.

Okay.

Okay.

This isn't quite right.

It's expected that, before the first `guix pull`, the origin is not
known. The per-user view of Guix, with provenance tracking, is created
on the first `guix pull`.

However, the version string should be 1.2.0.  Something has gone wrong
on your system and caused you to "go back in time" to an earlier
release, the second release candidate of the 1.2.0 release.
