GRASS is designed for multi-user environments such as research institutions or public administration institutions. A given user has write permissions only to its home directory, /tmp or %TMP% and the current mapset which the current user owns in terms of permissions (dependent on file system and operating system). Any other mapsets are assumed to belong to different users. This has been pointed out repeatedly before and is a security feature. Even if you are the owner of several different mapsets, you are still allowed to create new data only in the current mapset. This is a security feature needed e.g. for HPC (High Performance Computing). Considering that you are a GRASS developer you should have realized that.
