Comment (by sbl):

 Some additional observations:
 A colleague and me are facing significant "interoperability problems" with
 GeoTiffs produced with r.external.out, which (after FTP transfer) could
 not be opened in ENVI.

 ENVI complains about broken corner coordinates and a corrupted LZW-table.

 The files are solar radiation grids (all integer) and are saved as Int32
 by r.external.out.
 They were results from a tiled processing which was merged using r.patch.
 When I export via r.out.gdal I get a warning message that Metadata exceeds
 32000 bytes and cannot be written to GeoTiff, and therefore will be
 transferred to PAM. So this is possibly related to #3056
