r45116 introduces error message for this case.

$ grass70 -text
Unable to start GRASS. You can:
 - Launch GRASS with '-gui' switch (`grass70 -gui`)
 - Create manually GISRC file (/home/martin/.grass7/rc)
 - Launch GRASS with path to the location/mapset as an argument
(`grass70 /path/to/location/mapset`)
