After some debugging:

if you answer "Y", it breaks in r.support/front/run.c run_etc_support():
    G_snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%s/etc/support/%s '%s'",
             G_gisbase(), pgm, rast);


if you answer "N", it breaks in r.support/front/check.c check_stats()
    G_snprintf(question, sizeof(question), _("Update the statistics "
             "(histogram, range) for [%s]? "), name);


??


For now I'm setting this to "term" mode in menu.tcl in the 6.2 release
branch while we work out a fix in HEAD.
