lix/lix2 » nix eval -f '<nixpkgs>' lixVersions.lix_2_91
error: file 'nixpkgs' was not found in the Nix search path (add it using $NIX_PATH or -I)
lix/lix2 » nix config show | grep path
nix-path = /home/jade/.nix-defexpr/channels nixpkgs=/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixpkgs /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels

This points to testing inadequacies more than anything, this should have absolutely been caught by our integration tests had they been better; and stuff like functional2 is the fix to it.
