[GRASS5] v.patch in 5.7 problems

After merging a vector consisted of points with a vector consisted of lines 
using v.patch I get a file where some lines and points are assigned the same 
"field:" and "category:". It unables me create a database which would assign 
the elevation values to both points and contour lines at one time! And I 
need it to be done so in order to interpolate this "merged" elevation 
information in one turn with v.surf.rst. Both input files had a nice 
database.

BTW - why doesn't the v.patch create a merged database for the output file 
while in 5.5 the v.patch copies all the input's cats and labels to the 
output?

Please somebody answer and let me know if it's a bug worthy of a bug report.
