Yes - thanks for spotting. It was a typo in the e-mail only.
Phil,
Barring unnoticed devils in details your process looks safe.
Running ‘guix gc --verify’ is a good idea; add
‘=repair[,contents]’ if you're paranoid.

I suppose the doubling of size is due to deduplication not working well with
rsync: we use hard links for identical files, but I suppose rsync doesn't
recreate the hard links?
Maybe try guix gc --optimize?
