 Okay; it appears to be a bug in Gronsole::run_xterm
 (lib/gtcltk/gronsole.tcl):

 {{{
     exec -- $env(GISBASE)/etc/grass-xterm-wrapper -name xterm-grass -e
 env(GISBASE)/etc/grass-run.sh $cmd &
 }}}

 The command is being treated as a string, and passed as a single argument.
 It should be a list, and each element should be a separate argument to
 "exec". See the "term" procedure in runandoutput.tcl for an example of
 calling "exec" with a list of arguments.
