Comment(by hamish):

 The place that is set is:
   source:grass/trunk/ps/ps.map/do_scalebar.c@#L192

 you can edit that file by hand and recompile if you need to.

 I do not like the idea of making it current-locale setting dependent, or a
 translated macro as many of us work in/with/for both systems and need to
 be able to produce for both, from both on demand. Those things being
 silently adjusted for me drives me batty.

 It could take a cue from the spelling of UNITS in "g.proj -p", but that's
 rather fragile and not an option for lat/lon locations.

 I am loathe to add another instruction just for this spelling.
