Comment(by neteler):

 I cannot reproduce the problem with 6.4.svn r60122. Screenshot attached.
 My system is:

 {{{
 System Info
 GRASS version: 6.4.4svn
 GRASS SVN Revision: 60122M
 GDAL/OGR: 1.10.1
 PROJ4: Rel. 4.8.0, 6 March 2012

 }}}

 I also tested on the same machine GRASS 7.1.svn:

 {{{

 }}}

 All fine, perhaps your PROJ.4 version is outdated?
