In a topological vector environment such as grass this is not possible
for (fully) overlapping areas.

Well, you could try to do it just like done there if you first export
the boundary vector (without centroids) to a shapefile and then
reimport the shapefile using the commands in the links above.

Can't think of anything else to get the overlap of the areas.
