It looks like the limiting factor in this equation is the
code used in v.out.ogr.

maybe a silly question, but is a 3rd party format even needed here?

$ ogrinfo --formats | grep -i grass
 -> "GRASS" (readonly)

at least in the one direction.


Right - if the user has the plugin installed, it handles null vector values correctly. However, up to rgdal 0.5-26, null vector values were broken both for reading and writing OGR, and v.out.ogr in 6.3 and 6.4 doesn't handle them properly either. The plugin is autodetected and used if present in spgrass6, so from rgdal > 0.5-26, it will be the default for reading from GRASS.
