Yeah that might be worth trying, I rebased the docker update series if
you want to test it: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52790#7

I wonder if it could be related to the kernel, maybe it could missing
some support for namespaces?  Are you running the default Guix
linux-libre kernel?

You could also try and run docker's system test, to check if it works in
a fresh VM with the default kernel:

  make check-system TESTS="docker"

Hopefully this helps!
