It's a bug in the CELL driver. If you have the source, delete the
following lines from src/display/devices/CELL/Graph_Set.c and
re-compile:

    strcpy (buf, p);
    strcat (buf, FILE_NAME);
    Filename = G_store (buf);

Alternatively, you could use the PNG driver then import the resulting
image with r.in.png.
