Try looking in a text file called "WIND" in your mapset directory.
It sets the region WINDow. There should be a DEFAULT_WIND file in that
location's PERMANENT mapset which you can use as a template to replace
the broken WIND file.

ps- wouldn't hurt to file a bug with qgis either, with before & after versions of what it did to the WIND file.
