There are too many problems with PostGIS in GRASS, I thing, that 
the best would be to remove or at leas disable PostGIS and maybe 
shapefile and support only OGR sources as read only with pseudotopology.

Why do you need data stored in PostGIS? It is impossible to publish
the data anybody is working on. Editing may be done in GRASS native
and once finished, you can run v.out.ogr.
