Ok, here is what I see in the source location:

And in v.digit:

Zooming in to the area marked by the red circle:

And zooming even further (I'm in the centimeter range there):

The lines are not closed, but they are still recognized as an area.

I assume I must be getting something wrong here, but I don't really

Any hint would be welcome.
