The dmax option of v.what.vect is described as being in map units.
However, it seems to not be the case, art least for lat/lon locations.
Consider the attached example:
The point is largely within 10 degrees of the polygon, but it will not be
included in a call to v.what.vect with dmax=10.

This is true, the distance is in map units, but for ll locations, the unit
is meters. The manuals of v.what.vect and v.distance have been updated
accordingly in trunk r73013,4 and relbr74 r73015,6.
