The results are the same on Grass6.4RC5.
I was able to track down to different phenomena.
Some background info:
The dataset "Set" consists of many squares (all imported as as "A-polygons").
SOME OF THEM OVERLAP.
1)
As long as the centroids of the affected squares are OUTSIDE of the overlapping
area, everything is OK.
If the would centroids fall INSIDE the overlapping zone, the newly to be added
polygon is only vpatched as a line and a controid.
Since the intentional use of overlapping polygons is surely a bad idea, this
makes sense. However, some sort of feedback to the user would be a good thing
to have if such a case occurs.
2)
Yet, there are cases without "critical overlap" resulting in
centroid/line-pairs: In each case two identical centroids (holding identical
attributes but different categories) were created.
This could be a bug in v.patch.
