The place where a point will fall depends on the arguments "distribution" and 
"parameters". In spatial simulated annealing we start allowing a point to be 
shifted (perturbed) to any location within the study area. As the iterations go 
on, we constrain the amount of shifting to shorter distances.

Regarding v.random: could you please include a description in the help page on 
how the restriction is done? This is an extremely important information.

The command v.random got recently improved to optionally constrain points being 
generated to a restricted area. Not sure if this method could be implemented 
here as well.
Did you test how far outside points may fall?

Here a "where" statement would help, to be implemented...
