Well, as another user not yet up to the postgis stage, the gdal bug was here:
 http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-user/2012-October/019792.html
and this problem with GRASS was (to me) clearly similar:
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-user/2012-October/019943.html

Still, mostly sorted now.

I'm not sure if this is standard practice, but usually I'll ask here if I think I have a bug. 9 times out of 10 I've done something stupid to provoke it. When someone does confirm it, then I'll log the bug.

Out of curiousity, does the slightly out of sync mrsid gdal plugin stop you using/viewing mrsid files?
I'm still able to open the ecw files that I have to deal with.
