Comment (by hamish):

 It uses G_warning(), which can not be surpressed at run-time.

 if you run GRASS with a MSys terminal you could redirect the error
 messages to a file or to the dustbin with something like:
 {{{
  v.net.path ... options ... 2> v.net.path.err
 }}}

 or from the dos prompt with something like
 {{{
  v.net.path ... > nul:
 }}}

 In general throwing away all warning and error messages can be quite
 counter productive as you might miss the real ones.

 I don't think there will be a way to shut them off from the GUI right now.

 Q: are those messages (from v.net.path/path.c) informational (and so
 should use G_message()) or actually quite important to know (so stay with
 G_warning()) ?

 I don't know enough about the module to answer that.
