Comment(by hamish):

 > When the user creates a new mapset, such a directory is created
 automatically.

 that should happen at happen whenever the directory is needed and it
 doesn't already exist. Really, it should ''not'' be created when the
 mapset is created, only on demand.
 (flush out the bugs now rather than later, see earlier discussions about
 dbf/ ...)

 it's not just preferable, it's essential, especially for people changing
 versions and so entering old mapsets with new versions of the software.
 But anyway, hopefully that problem was fixed in trunk some months ago with
 r57276. AFAICT that has not been backported to GRASS 6, if it would be
 needed there.

 >> To be continued in ticket #1358
