Superseded packages cannot be built/installed unwillingly. In the example above, what you built is “gpgme”, not “gpgmepp”, which is why any changes to “gpgmepp” had no effect. To force a build of the superseded package, you can run: guix build -e '(@ (gnu packages kde-frameworks) gpgmepp)' But again, the intended meaning of superseded packages is that they are superseded and must no longer be used. So to me this can be closed as “not a bug.” HTH! Ludo’.
