I wouldn't call it elegant, but:

# lines to e1,n1,e2,n2[,...]
v.out.ascii multi_line format=standard | sed -e 1,10d | \
   grep -v ' 1 ' | tr '\n' ',' | sed -e 's/,L/\nL/g' | \
   cut -f2- -d',' | sed -e 's/^ //' | tr ' ' ',' | \
   sed -e 's/,$//' > ascii_lines.tmp

for LINE in `cat ascii_lines.tmp` ; do
   echo "$LINE" | r.profile -gc in=raster_map
done


I am sure awk would be prettier.
