What is the origin of this? Or what can I do to avoid this?
Kompsat-2 images are followed by an header txt. can that be
useful?
Because it has recognized projection, the resolution is the
same and even nº of cols/rows.

I believe these are actually GDAL warning messages and not GRASS
ones. Will gdalinfo and/or gdal_translate work with the files?

Regarding this issue, at GDAL mailing list they told me:

This is not a critical error, only a warning. However, if you are in
contact with the data producer you might encourage them to bring their
TIFF production into agreement with the specification which requires
that the last byte of these text items should be a zero byte.
