r.in.pdal fails with LAS files without projection

[CarlosGrohmann]

Describe the bug

I'm using GRASS 8.4 from ubuntugis-unstable. When trying to import a lidar dataset I got this error:

terminate called after throwing an instance of
'pdal::pdal_error'
  what():  readers.las: Global encoding WKT flag not set for
point format 6 - 10.

Searching for the error, I found mentions that this can be avoided by using readers.las.nosrs=true but there is no way to add it this option to r.in.pdal.

One field to add extra options to the pdal pipeline could fix this.

Could you, please, provide a small file with test data?
