Comment:

 The original QGIS bug (http://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/1631) mentions
 v.db.addcol which is a script. Hence, Vect_set_db_updated() cannot be
 called. It appears that the function calls Vect_write_dblinks(Map) which
 modifies the dbln file
 (http://download.osgeo.org/grass/grass6_progman/field_8c_source.html#l00690).

 Question: would a "touch /path/to/vector/mapname/dbln" be sufficient to
 indicate the dbln file as updated?
