I *guess* that your vector was not completely imported, as v.in.ogr
might fail on big datasets deue to limitations of current vector engine
(didn't you miss an error message from v.in.ogr?; in TCL/TK GUI some low
level errors are filtered out
http://intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=3010, so try from CLI and see
what it says then).

Assuming my assumption is OK :) you had to run v.build to build the
topology of your partially imported, corrupted vector. But still some
corrupted leftovers remain. Then try opening the vector in v.digit and
quit - this will extract what is recoverable from the file and write it
back.
