<br>
The problem is twofold -<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>QGIS (or rather the underlying ogr library) has a bug in
some cases when determining the projection in TAB files (i.e
EPSG:25832) . This bug is solved in version 1.10 of GDAL.</li>
<li>Your editing of QGIS CRS parameter database won't give you
the wanted result, because when QGIS try to find the
projection of a tab dataset it (probably) goes like this: <br>
a) find MapInfo specific projection parameters in tab file, <br>
b) convert these to the equivalent proj4 definition and <br>
c) do a reverse lookup to find the EPSG code <br>
QGIS never will never find your edited CRS parameters<br>
<br>
</li>
</ul>
As you suggested, a solution to this problem could be to let QGIS
override the "build-in" projection in a tab file with a .qpj
companion file just like the case with shape files. (Doesn't it do
this already ?)<br>
I suggest you make a feature request on the QGIS bugtracker <br>
<br>
