(1) You must *delete* the "older" system generations and user profiles

store. It is not enough to merely switch to an older system
generation and profiles.
(2) You'll also need to actually reboot into the older system
generation, because /run/booted-system will continue to protect
(from GC) the system that you last booted into, even after you
switch systems.
Did you do those things before running "guix gc"?
Oops, I left out those details. Yes, I did both those things.
I'm sorry that you've hit this nasty bug.
Thanks. For me, being the only one that can reproduce or experience a
problem can be a frustrating and lonely experience, so really appreciate
the time you and Leo have spent looking at it.
Best,
Jack
