Here's an odd thought - permissions.  When python source is loaded,  
python automatically attempts to compile bytecode as .pyc, alongside  
the source.  I don't know what python does if it can't write these  
files due to lack of permissions.

When you sudo make install, you then don't have write permissions in  
the GRASS.app folders.

I've been running my GRASS tests in an uninstalled copy, with this  
procedure:

make
make bindist

the OSX bindist creates an installer package, and *also* leaves behind  
the assembled application in macosx/dist.  Try this.

Otherwise, I'm grasping at straws now.
