Craig, thanks for the answer.
I have found that Qgis is not using 'towgs' only if using one of the
projections from installed projection database. If I create custom
projection by 'Settings -> Custom CRS' it is working correctly.


To get things more clear, I am inserting missing projection (see #4945)
to internal database before building. This projection is using 'towgs'.
