After quite some debugging (luckily it's open source!) I
figured out the trick:

The start_mp/end_mp columns must be decimal (not integer as stated
in Radim's article which is probably slightly older than the implementation
in GRASS 6).

I have added a simple example to the manual page.

You can try with a vector line and 3 points along this line (in
a separate map).
