Comment (by hamish):

 ok, so it is a matter of expectations.

 how to improve the wording?

  * I think all the "Zoom display to ..." menu items can stay as-is, as it
 is not as critical if the display region is slightly askew. -- it's just a
 visual thing. So vague language is ok here.

  * My suggestion to solve this ticket is to reword "'''Set computational
 region extents to match display'''". It is critical to have the
 computational region set cleanly for computations, and g.region -a is
 needed to avoid sloppy regions set from the display. So crisp language is
 needed to explain this.

 Replace "to match" with "from"? that makes it more technically correct,
 but still doesn't address the user expectation issue very well.
 Replace "Set" with "Align"? That puts forward the idea that the two grids
 are still somewhat independent.

 how about: "Align computational region to current display"?
