Skipping the v.db.dropcol step I get:

time v.what.vect --v vector=pareto_ref_points___pareto_ref_30m 
qvect=pareto_grid___OVER___ref_coi_points___pareto_grid___OVER___ref_30m___ON___classification_V___classification_500m_1 
column=gridcell_1 qcolumn=cat

I am about to jump in to the lake [1] thinking how many nights I've spend on 
this. No comments please. In the end of the day(s, weeks, months) reaching a 
solution was my wish so I should be happy. I just need some time to accept 
it... :-? Maybe file a ticket for it as well?

Moritz, MarkusM, thanks once again :-)
(will try within the next days the v.vect.stats).
