You say "unless someone fixes d.vect". Does that imply the current
method is broken versus using the R_*() fns? Or is it just not condusive
to a working HTMLMAP driver? Will the current d.vect method be faster
than using lib fns which will take time rendering polygons which will
end up being off screen?

bug or design choice?
