Just a quick feedback before doing real-testing:

I have some point vectors (created last week) and v.what.vect indeed
works fine on/with them. Now, if I take one of those point vectors
(g.copy), drop a column just for fun (v.db.dropcol), add it back again
(v.db.addcol column='test integer') v.what.vect does not work anymore on
the _newly_ added column.

Will test on spearfish data to see if I can replicate this.
