Probably because
v = { c }
is the same as
v = \notemode { c }
\notemode is the default state for parsing objects inside braces.

That's the correct pitch for such a note unless it's in a \relative
block with a different octave for the start pitch.
\chordmode { \v }
is the same as
{ c }
unless you force a mode change when defining the variable.
