Comment (by martinl):

 GRASS is using GDAL library to convert EPSG code to projection definition,
 so that's the reason why GRASS reports WGS84 !PseudoMercator even PROJ.4
 uses Spherical !PseudoMercator for EPSG 3857. See
 source:grass/trunk/general/g.proj/input.c#L171. The issue should be solved
 on GDAL side I would say.
