The "ERROR 6" indicates that it is a GDAL/OGR error, not a GRASS GIS
error (for the export we make use of GDAL, hence "outsource" the
creation of the desired format).

I found this in the internet:
 https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2006-February/008089.html
which is exactly the same error message:

Note that, to prevent GRASS from creating the CAT column -c should be -s:

https://grass.osgeo.org/grass78/manuals/v.out.ogr.html
-s Skip export of GRASS category ID ('cat') attribute
