for v.edit trick you need >= r32749

where I enabled also snapping of points in veditlib.

input maps: points,lines

1) create empty output map

v.edit map=points_snapped tool=create

2) add points and snap them based on bgmap (choose appropriate threshold value)

v.out.ascii points for=standard | v.edit map=points_snapped tool=add
bgmap=lines thresh=-1,500,-1 id=1-99999 snap=node
