OK, done in cvs.

This is done in etc/Init.sh:
if [ ! "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ] ; then
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$GISBASE/lib
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
else
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$GISBASE/lib
fi

this section is identical to 5.0, but why it is exported only 
in the first case, would not be better

if [ ! "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ] ; then
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$GISBASE/lib
else
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$GISBASE/lib
fi

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

and is it necessary to test if $LD_LIBRARY_PATH is defined,
is it ':/some/path' error?

Maybe you are not running GRASS within regular session?
BTW, you can run applications without $GISRC and user mapset.
(example in GRASS++ and QGIS)
