I see in the QGIS source code:

cat src/plugins/grass/modules/db.connect.qgm
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE qgisgrassmodule SYSTEM "http://mrcc.com/qgisgrassmodule.dtd">

<qgisgrassmodule label="Set general DB connection" module="db.connect">
        <option key="driver" answer="dbf" hidden="no"/>
        <option key="database"
answer="$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/dbf/" hidden="no"/>
</qgisgrassmodule>


cat src/plugins/grass/modules/db.connect.schema.qgm
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE qgisgrassmodule SYSTEM "http://mrcc.com/qgisgrassmodule.dtd">

<qgisgrassmodule label="Set general DB connection with a schema"
module="db.connect">
        <option key="driver" answer="dbf" hidden="no"/>
        <option key="database"
answer="$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/dbf/" hidden="no"/>
        <option key="schema" answer=" " hidden="no"/>
</qgisgrassmodule>

To me it looks like a replication since the schema answer isn't predefined.
