Weird. In 6.4, r.in.xyz does import a file where the number of
coordinate pairs is far less than the number of cells in the defined
region. (I just did a simple test with two input lines and a region
with 26.5 million cells, got clean import and correct result)

You can interpolate NULL cells and a the same time keep non NULL cell
values with r.fillnulls.

I would suggest to set the region to

north:      -49312.5
south:      -74587.5
west:       -3015862.5
east:       -2987512.5
nsres:      25
ewres:     25

have clean 25m resolution for both ns and ew in order to make life
easier. The 1cm difference in the last input lines you posted can not
possibly make a difference with 25m point spacing and is most probably
some floating point rounding error introduced by some preprocessing to
generate the ascii xyz input file.
