Hmm, apparently so ...

guile -c '(use-modules (guix config)) (pk %config-directory)'

... returns ...

;;; ("/etc/guix")

... but in the REPL I get ...

(use-modules (guix config))
(pk %config-directory)

=> "/usr/local/etc/guix"

... /usr/local/etc/guix/acl is the only file under /usr and I didn't
install in /usr/local.  The system was created with 'guix init' on a
previous GuixSD system and has since been modified by 'guix reconfigure'
and 'guix package', running either from 'git pull' or git checkout.

I don't know if this is related, but I see that guix config.log
(attached) has ...

guix_sysconfdir='/usr/local/etc'

Also, you may recall that, on the previous system, we had to make
/usr/local/sbin/guix-register a symlink to guix-register to get 'guix
init' to work ...
