Comment(by mlennert):

 Replying to [ticket:2401 micha]:
 > According to the manual, v.distance should, in a long-lat LOCATION,
 return geodesic distances in meters on a sphere, rather than in degrees.
 This works in the cases of point to point, and point to line.
 >
 > However in the case of point to boundary the module returns distances in
 degrees, and not geodesic distance.

 I've attached a patch that solves the issue for me, but it could do with
 some more testing.
