As far as the GRASS topological model is concerned, self-intersecting
lines are allowed, self-intersecting boundaries are not.

Self-intersecting lines are ok for v.net modules, e.g. to represent a
bridge of a secondary road over a highway. There are some modules that
do not like self-intersecting lines, e.g with v.buffer I would expect
problems.
