Yes, that is correct. It is set automatically from the width of the current frame in map units. It should give you something nice; does it not? that's a serious question, not trying to be defensive about it- the rendering is pixel based so not much use for the PostScript display driver, or d.out.file with 4x sizing then reduced. ps.map does give you the option to choose the length (in map units). it's a lot more work (and rather a pain..) but gives you exactly what you ask for. I sort of see the d.* modules as quick and dirty on-screen display, while ps.map as more catering to cartography which demands exactitude, so haven't been motivated much to change either one.
