I can't see any good reason for "hiding" from the user the fact that 
they're using v.digit - can only imagine it making it harder for them to 
find hints and information and make bug reports more obscure?

Well what I took from previous discussions was its OK to use the -n flag 
even if the map already exists, because it is only checked if the map 
doesn't already exist! So it would be fine to just use it all the time, 
but probably a more preferable solution is just to get rid of it as it 
seems to be anomaly with no real use.
