v.outlier manual page does not refer that the vector needs to be a 3D one

yes!

So v.outlier should complain if input is 2D vector data, right?

yes,

Vect_is_3d() seems to be the test to use..

You mean the test which *is* used:

   /* Input vector must be 3D */
    if (!Vect_is_3d(&In))
        G_fatal_error(_("Input vector map <%s> is not 3D!"), in_opt->answer);

Manual fixed, closing.
