When running these two tests in a clean environment without having Guix
installed first, they crash when trying to obtain the value of
localstatedir.

FAIL tests/guix-pack-localstatedir.sh (exit status: 1)
It seems to me that the reason is that NIX_STORE_DIR is exported by
test-env script, so the line
NIX_STORE_DIR="`guile -c '(use-modules (guix config))(display %storedir)'`"
not only changes the value of shell variable NIX_STORE_DIR but also
exports it to the environment.
Therefore, the next line
localstatedir="`guile -c '(use-modules (guix config))(display
%localstatedir)'`"
crashes at guix/config.scm when running the code
(define %store-directory
(or (and=> (getenv "NIX_STORE_DIR") canonicalize-path)
%storedir))
because NIX_STORE_DIR points to a non-existent path /gnu/store.
I attached a patch to avoid the crash by delaying the modification
to NIX_STORE_DIR, but I am not sure if it is correct to do so.
