Yes, there appears to be a bug in the system somewhere so that Terminal.app needs to be running (doesn't need a window, just runnning), then GRASS will open a Terminal window on startup. It never bothered me because I work with the Terminal so much I never quit it.
I tried a few ideas when I heard of the problem a while back with no resolution.
