Here's MTR's answer:

So scan(1), etc., in a script should ignore ~/.mh_profile?
whether any particular UI component is appropriate or useful in a
script has probably changed over time -- i suspect what people
are willing to script has become far more sophisticated over the
lifetime of mh.
if it's important to be able to ignore a user's .mh_profile during
execution, then a (new? maybe it exists already) "-noprofile" option
would seem like the right implementation. or, what i think already
exists (though i haven't tried it):
MH=/dev/null <program-name>
