"v.out.ascii format=points" (the default) only outputs points of course;
I guess you could do "v.to.points -v" or "v.out.ascii format=standard" 
+unix tools to get vector contour lines as xyz file.

But yes, for vector contour lines r.to.vect isn't so bad an option.
How do results compare to r.surf.contour*?

[*] problems with r.surf.contour: 0 in input data is treated as null,
integer output only.
