I would welcome the addition of a scale. As long as a caveat is included
somewhere describing what the margin of error is, or how the scale gets
calculated.

Subject: [GRASS-dev] Scale display in GRASS Monitor
Hi,
the GRASS monitor does not show the approx. scale of the map.
In the past I introduced that one or two times but it was
reverted. Since every GIS shows a scale on screen, it is
hard to explain why GRASS doesn't do it.
So I launch a new attempt to get the scale (back) on top
of the GRASS monitor... I know about dpi and all this stuff
but we really don't need centimeter precision 
Opinions?
Markus

I agree, sounds good. I imagine that labelling it "approximate" or other such qualifier, with appropriate accompanying documentation, should cover the limitations.
