I don't think it's a problem to technically do it, I'm just
trying to figure out if there's any good reason for it being
the way it is.

I have worked around the long-standing problem of "illegal
latitude for north" by adding a new -l flag to r.in.gdal which
will reset the image bounds to within 90N,S. With lots of
warnings to run r.region of course. I figure coords based on
pixels are arbitrary as well, so it is not any more wrong to do
that, and much better than removing the libgis restriction.
