Name resolution doesn't work after recent pull and reconfigure (xfce + network manager)

Everything with GuixSD has been working fine for me ever since I started using it about a year ago. All of the sudden I can't resolve any names, so I'm stuck on an older generation. I'm not sure how to go about troubleshooting this. My config.scm is basically the default that came with the original install with nonguix kernel and xfce desktop service. I can only guess there is some kind of mDNS conflict with avahi service and NetworkManager?

I do get a warning on reconfiguring that says "WARNING: No NSS support for mDNS detected, consider installing nss-mdns!" But, the manual says this is part of avahi-daemon service. Avahi is _not_ in my config.scm. So I assume that is in default services, but then where would I put this nss-mdns? Also, why doesn't NetworkManager just handle this?
