 >But I’ve tried using cat=first and it continues to assign multiple cats
 to
 the segments.

 tested here on my side.

 from the manual:

     cats=no - No category number is assigned to a polyline. Also
 attributes
 tables linked to the input vector map are not copied to the output vector
 map.
     cats=first - Assign to a polyline category number of the first line.
 All
 linked attributes tables are copied to the output vector map.
     cats=multi - If the lines that make up a polyline have different
 category numbers then v.build.polylines will set the multiple catetory
 numbers to a polyline. Also all linked attributes tables are copied to the
 output vector map.

 none of this options seems to work, as always all cats are copied to the
 attribute table.

 bug in v.build.polylines?
