Can you run v brakes on frames that are meant for cantis? Tried to fit a deore rear brake to my muddy fox seeker and the pads needed to be spaced more toward the rear rim? And then the spring arm would pop out when any pressure is applied to the brake...
I had exactly this problem too on an old Raleigh mtb. It wasn't even a lever compatibility issue, the pads were just miles away from the rim.
