This is fixed now.  (I hadn't gotten around to updating the installation CD for
the NixOS channel stuff.)

/etc/nixos/{nixos,nixpkgs} are gone in the installation CD and on newly
installed systems.  The sources are now in the channels profile, so "nix-channel
--update" will replace them with the latest version, if desired.

Yes, but I had worked around the failing test by adding a "-f
/etc/nixos/nixpkgs" flag to the nix-env tests.
