More precisely, the resulting image is for the Guix in your source tree,
*but* the image runs a version of Guix that is older than your source
tree; specifically, it runs ‘guix-devel’ from (gnu packages
package-management).

If you want the current Guix inside the image, you need to use
‘current-guix’ as done in (gnu tests install).

HTH!
