d.vect uses G_plot_line() (in src/libes/gis/plot.c), which (in
fastline()) adds 0.5 to each coordinate. d.area doesn't use this
function.

If you remove the +0.5 from fastline(), d.vect and d.area coincide. 
However, G_plot_line() is used in many places, so changing it to suit
d.vect may break other things.
