v.line.center does not copy the input vector's table to output vector.

Yes. As the category numbers are the same, you can:

# given that the name of the v.line.center's input vector is "lines" and
# the output is "points":

# copy the input table:
db.copy from_table=lines to_table=points

# connect the table "points" to vector map "points":
v.db.connect points table=points

Now query (d.what.vect, v.db.select) to check if everything's OK.

Mind that I assume plenty of defaults in the example above - verify your
layer number, key column name etc. Refer to to commands's manuals.
