good work: it's a mistake as documented here
https://guix.info/manual/en/File-Systems.html#File-Systems

the file to fix is this:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl

because it is included in the documentation here:
(https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/doc/guix.texi#n9863)
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
@lisp
@include os-config-desktop.texi
@end lisp
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
   
built via make as defined here
(https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/doc/local.mk#n107)
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
%D%/os-config-%.texi: gnu/system/examples/%.tmpl
        $(AM_V_GEN)$(MKDIR_P) "`dirname address@hidden";        \
        cp "$<" "$@"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
