v.clean tool=rmdupl should remove only one of duplicate features.
'break' tool should be usually run before 'rmdupl'.
Can you extract (v.in.region, v.select) a part of data where 'actual features 
were removed' by repeated 'rmdupl' and send it to me (coor file)?

If I understand it well, you want remove the boundary of quad from all
patched maps. This should be done before v.patch. Does not exist
any attribute, which can distinguish the boundary from lines?
How the data was imported, can you send a link to the data on the Web?
