depends on what OGR knows. bug generally that is not entirely unexpected.
You can add those things back with v.colors and the various v.db.*
modules for label attributes.  (without knowing the format I'm just
guessing)

If OGR doesn't already, it would be nice if one day it did pass those as
attributes so GRASS could pick them up.

if you like. see v.patch. of course it is easier to work with 100mb
files than 2gb files...
