Based on the description above you are right it should not warn about
the 'guix channel, nevertheless, it does.
I have tested with following patch

diff --git a/guix/scripts/pull.scm b/guix/scripts/pull.scm

(if (channel-introduction channel)
(if (find (cut equivalent-channels? <> channel)

And I got the following output:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;;; (())

Notice the empty list in there. However `guix describe' gives me the
following:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Git checkout:
repository: /home/user/src/guix/

commit: 6f2e5abc0cdf8fffb1732c05f7e9a68afdba1446

So, for some reason, guix-pull and guix-describe disagree regarding what
the current channels are.
