Yes, but this is a "feature" of grass vector files...

Hmm... I don't really understand what this script add.  I believe that
using a symbolic link on the text label file for the dig_cats file gives
the same result as the script... (except that it will not create another
vector file).

The solution imho is to switch to grass5.1, where attributes are far
better handled.
