I start to understand what you mean :)

v.db.droptable -f mmmm
Removing following table name connected to selected layer: mmmm
Removing table <mmmm> linked to layer <1> of vector map <mmmm>
Dropping table <mmmm>...
Current attribute table link(s):
ERROR: Database connection for map <mmmm> is not defined in DB file
(No database links remaining)

Fixed in CVS. Now it does:

v.db.droptable mmmm
Removing following table name connected to selected layer: mmmm
Removing table <mmmm> linked to layer <1> of vector map <mmmm>
You must use the force flag to actually remove the the table. Exiting.

I think that the "Removing.." message need some fine tuning (maybe
conditionalized) to be less confusing.
