All Quickbird I have seen so far had wrong names for the bands
(red/blue reverted). It seems not to be a problem of
GDAL, neither GRASS, but simply wrong Quickbird GeoTIFF files
(so just complain to the data provider).

It's reading what it finds in the data set.

As explained above. An easy solution is to use "g.rename" in
GRASS and rename the red and blue channel (exchange their names).
Then it works well.
