AFAICT, the error message comes from OGR, not GRASS. So best would be to get OGR to provide a more helpful error message. I don't think it would be very practical for GRASS to check for OGR errors and then translate them to something more understandable.
Moritz/Madi: Perhaps the most practical solution, at least for the interim, would be to add a note to the module man page that if exporting to shapefiles ensure column names are no loger than 10 characters.
