FWIW, I've never seen this on my Thinkpad X200 running Guix. I also use
GNOME, although I use it under Wayland, by running
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland exec dbus-run-session gnome-session
from within a text console. I don't use GDM, because our GDM package
does not yet support Wayland.
Note that GDM is enabled in my OS config and gets launched on every
boot, but I then shut it down manually using "herd stop xorg-server".
After doing so, I need to type "Alt+SysRq+r" to recover the use of my
keyboard.

It might be worth trying to do what I describe above, to rule out the
possibility that GDM is responsible.
What kind of machine is it? If it's a laptop, I wonder if your laptop's
embedded controller is entering suspend mode automatically.
