Perhaps a wiser solution would be to v.to.point (i) contour lines,
(ii) breaklines, then merge them in a single raster an run
r.surf.nnbathy.

There is no need to v.to.points isolines before rasterizing them for nnbathy. Unless you want to generalize the contour lines on purpose, e.g. to minimize the staircase artifacts in the output raster map.

As to breaklines, if these are linear features that indicate
surface discontinuity and have no elevation attribute, nnbathy has no
use of them (which you know already). If they are vector isolines, just rasterize them straight away. If these are vector 3d lines, you'd need to rasterize them interpolating their elevation at each cell of the output raster map, which v.to.rast can't do. At least it couldn't a few years ago when I tried it. This could probably be approximated with something like v.to.points -v -i dmax=<raster DEM resolution> + v.to.rast, but that's suboptimal.

Finally I found on the web a custom solution based on a nice little
python script named tin2raster, you can find it at the address
bellow. I tried to contact Antonio, the guy who wrote it, but did not
get a reply :

That tool utilizes Vect_tin_get_z
(http://grass.osgeo.org/programming6/tin_8c.html), which claims to be
able to perform such interpolation, not only along a linear 3d feature, but on faces as well. Nice.

I haven't tried the tool, but it seems it does exactly what you are after here.

In my case it was very efficient and fast. Do you think it could
represent a potential new option that could be applied to v.to.rast
in order to handle 3d vector areas ?

I don't know, but I'd like v.to.rast to provide such feature too.

Would anyone help me figure out how I could perform this
conversion, given that I would rely on a linear interpolation
method within triangles faces (the result would be close to what
r.surf.nnbathy does, except nor this addon does support
breaklines).

Can you rasterize the output triangle 3d sides, and use that as an
input for r.surf.nnbathy?

r.surf.nnbathy should create a structure similar to v.triangle
product, since both use the same Shewchuk's "triangle" algorithm
underneath.

You may try if using only the triangle node vertices alone
wouldn't suffice, and extracting those from a 3d vector map should
be very easy (v.to.points -n ?).
