This is from the GRASSbook p. 98

When resampling from lower to
higher resolution, the high resolution cells are assigned the same
values as the cell within which they are located. When
resampling from higher to lower resolution, the low resolution cell is
assigned the value of the high resolution cell which is located the
closest to its center (nearest neighbor).  Resampling is designed for
raster data which represent geometrical features, such as lines and
areas (raster maps with categories).  If applied to
raster maps representing continuous fields, the resulting surface may
have a checkerboard pattern.

So for elevation and other continuous surfaces you usually
need to reinterpolate.
