If there are 804 features, 2 features must have the same category value,
resulting in 803 updates to the database

The output of v.info and v.category option=report must be identical with
regard to the count of features.

Ideal would be a stripped down GRASS mapset with only this vector
Ebro_river_vector_poly_clean_tmp. Exporting the vector would change the
geometry representation and it would no longer be possible to reproduce the
problem.
