In r.to.vect, this argument ONLY refers to the output vector feature. There are 
not any different feature types for the 2D raster maps that are input to this 
module. I assume that while the nature of the raster map affects the vector 
feature type to some extent, this argument can force it to output a particular 
feature type when there is the potential for multiple feature type output.

I suppose simply “feature type” is OK. But it is the output vector map that is 
being referred to in any case and “input” feature type is misleading IMHO.

Probably revert http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/changeset/59324? Or create separate 
options G_OPT_V_TYPE_INPUT, G_OPT_V_TYPE_OUTPUT?

But the input is always a raster. So there is no reason for an option 
G_OPT_V_TYPE_INPUT

The output is always a vector, which CAN have different feature types, so there 
is a reason for G_OPT_V_TYPE_OUTPUT.
