ok, so your rectification process should be ok.

use r.info anytime and r.univar after "g.region rast=" to get an idea
about what data is actually in your map. (rows, columns, resolution)

The default region or default region resolution is wrong? d.rast works
in the current region, not the map's region. It resamples the raster map
on the fly.

try:
 g.region -d
 g.region -p

how do the bounds and resolution compare with what r.info show?
(same as)
 g.region rast=TL0232.blue_1
 g.region -p


"g.region -d" will always use what you specified when you first created
the location. (stored in $MAPSET/PERMANENT/DEFAULT_WIND)

I expect the default resolution was set to something much coarser than
your rectified map's resolution, and it is simply a mis-display.
