I did some testing and I think 30ce801 solves this problem.

The issue was actually not a GC issue, but a synchronization issue.
Since I introduced ‘call-with-compressed-output-port’ & co., the
‘send-files’ and ‘retrieve-files’ procedures in offload.scm no longer
explicitly waited for the lsh process to complete.

Thus, the ‘transfer-and-offload’ procedure could call the ‘offload’
procedure (which invokes the remote ‘guix build’) before ‘send-files’
was done uploading the .drv file, hence the error.

I’ve just installed the change on hydra.gnu.org, so let’s see how things
work now.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
