Tim - I share your frustration with the lack of incremental labeling
We completed a similar task (ca. 700+ archeological sites) by doing
basically as you suggest.  We digitized them in order, ran v.to.sites
to create a sites list that was in the same order as they were digitized
and then tacked the other data on the end.  Not pretty maybe, but
it worked and didn't really take that long.  I would recommend numbering
the tree locations on the maps in the order you want to digitize them,
then just go from one to the next.  This should reduce the chance of
missing any.  Hope this helps.
