OK, so I did a few tests on my notebook, all in GRASS 6.4.1. Every session
has these steps:
* start GRASS with a locale (LANG=something /usr/bin/grass)
* open a mapset (same in all tests)
* load a raster or two into map view
* try to save the .grc file

Instead of the LANG=C I used LANG=en_US.utf8, which also works (more on that
later). 

The tests:
1) GRASS with my default cs_CZ.utf8 locale: Saving .grc file *fails*.
2) GRASS with en_US.utf8 locale: Saving .grc OK.
3) GRASS with my default cs_CZ.utf8 locale: Saving .grc file OK.
4) Reboot
5) GRASS with my default cs_CZ.utf8 locale: Saving .grc file OK.
So it really seems that temporarly using English cures the problem.

In the meantime I also observed (but it was in GRASS 7) that with LANG=C
there are problems with '@'character in names of layers (layer at mapset).
That's why I use rather en_US.utf8 in these tests
