For the record, here the answer:

Hence I have updated GRASS 6.4 to 7 accordingly in r53227 - r53229.

My test data set:
http://mapserver.inegi.org.mx/data/mgm/?s=geo&c=1298
--> Polígonos de Localidades Urbanas Geoestadísticas de Zonas
Pendientes por Asignar (7.43 Kb)

imports (I believe) properly now:

GRASS 6.4.3svn (newLocation5):/tmp > g.proj -w
PROJCS["Lambert Conformal Conic",
    GEOGCS["grs80",
        DATUM["ITRF92",
            SPHEROID["Geodetic_Reference_System_1980",6378137,298.257222101]],
        PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
        UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]],
    PROJECTION["Lambert_Conformal_Conic_2SP"],
    PARAMETER["standard_parallel_1",17.5],
    PARAMETER["standard_parallel_2",29.5],
    PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",12],
    PARAMETER["central_meridian",-102],
    PARAMETER["false_easting",2500000],
    PARAMETER["false_northing",0],
    UNIT["Meter",1]]

Please try from SVN or tomorrow's snapshot and report any inconsistencies
(or success :). The test is to reproject to a different projection and check the
precision.
