Comment (by brushtyler):

 I think there is not only one issue.

 First issue: [[BR]]
 Replying to [comment:10 alobo]:
 > 1. Interpolation plugin generates an Arc Ascii raster, even if it's
 named test2.tif
 why Interpolation plugin create an Arc Ascii named .tif? Do you have
 opened a ticket about this?

 Second (possible) issue: [[BR]]
 > 4. Then I used QGIS Raster/Assign projection to assign UTM31N ED50.  The
 projection

 the gdal Assign Projection gui says:
 {{{
 The output is:
 - new GeoTiff if input file is not GeoTiff
 - overwritten if input is GeoTiff
 }}}
 It checks if is a GeoTiff by looking at the file extension, so it
 overwrite the input file.

 hope not.
 Assign Projection use gdalwarp. Have you tried to change the projection
 with another gdal executable (from shell)?
