Is there a check that the mapset is PERMANENT? It should fail with an 
error if the new flag is specified and the mapset isn't PERMANENT, like I 
*think* g.proj -c without location= specified does and like I *think* 
Helena also suggested?

This is really important functionality to have - good that we're finally 
getting round to adding it ;)
