Now that I have GuixSD installed on that machine I don’t have
/sys/firmware/efi at all.  /sys/firmware contains “acpi”, “dmi”, and
“memmap” only.

The problem occurred when I tried to install GuixSD (after booting from
a GuixSD installer USB drive), not when reconfiguring.  I don’t have a
USB drive with me at the moment, so I cannot check the contents of
/sys/firmware in the installer GuixSD now.
