Thanks Helmut. v.build did not help, as the topology was already OK. The problem seems to be that the database has come unconnected. To make a long story short

1) I used v.in.ogr on a GDB directory, which produced a single feature with 20 layers, only a few of which had spatial data

2) to isolate the one element I was most interested in I did a v.extract on layer 20 to create the new map.

3) that worked, except that the database was still attached to layer 20, even though the new map only had a single layer. So,

4) I did a v.db.connect -d layer=20, followed by a v.db.connect layer=1 on the same table that used to be attached to layer 20.

Now, d.vect newveg doesn't work, but d.vect newveg layer=20 does, and the query returns layer 20 results, but layer 20 is no longer attached to a table in sqlite so all I get are area and cat. Presumably, some permutation of v.category will straighten all of this out.

In the meantime, I discovered that I could import layers from a GDB individually with v.in.ogr, so all is well.

I'm having difficulty getting the wx devices to show vector features.
For example, I have a map called newveg.  v.info clearly shows that
newveg has areas, e.g.

Number of points:  0         Number of centroids:  38183
Number of lines:   0         Number of boundaries: 97451
Number of areas:   38183     Number of islands:    7112

If I enter

d.vect newveg

it doesn't render anything.  If I enter

d.vect newveg type=area

it doesn't render anything, but if I enter

d.vect newveg type=boundary

I get the boundaries.  Furthermore, even when it doesn't draw anything,
the query tool returns information on polygons I can't see.
Unfortunately, even though

v.db.connect -p newveg

says

Vector map
<newveg>
 is connected by:
layer <1/newveg> table
<newveg>
 in database
&lt;/home/dvrbts/grass/romo_gdb/PERMANENT/sqlite/sqlite.db&gt; through
driver
<sqlite>
 with key
<cat>
The query tool is returning information on layer 20 that is no longer
connected to newveg (it was once upon a time).

I'm confused

GRASS 7.3.svn, Linux magicsam 4.6.2-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jun 8
08:40:59 CEST 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux

tested here with

Number of areas:     989768

rendering takes some time, after finished rendering areas are displayed
without any problem.

try to rebuild topology by eg. v.build map=yourvector
