I have a bug report:

http://hub.qgis.org/issues/3999

and a potential solution.  But I don't know if it's a sure fix.

Is there any way to get the methods that the plugin needs into the qgisgrass library without duplicating what's in the provider?  Is there no other way for the plugin to get those methods?
