It looks pretty interesting, this is the commit mentioned to fix the mingetty behavior:

https://github.com/lfam/guix/commit/a043b5b81a080c47e24298c80857919b9ea21bb2

However, looking into what is being used by Artix/S6:

So Artix/S6 is using agetty instead of mingetty...  And by looking at its man page, it seems that "--nohangup" is the default behavior, since there's NO option for that, but there's an option for the opposite (to hangup):

>        -R, --hangup
>               Call vhangup() to do a virtual hangup of the specified terminal.
