It’s a feature: use of ‘-L’ or ‘GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH’ disables caching.

This is because in that case what the manifest and command line refer to
is “uncontrolled”.

For the same reason, ‘./pre-inst-env guix shell x y z’ in a checkout
does not benefit from caching.

See uses of ‘cache-is-authoritative?’ in guix/scripts/shell.scm.

HTH!
