You're right.
The only programs that don't read the profile are install-mh(1), post(8),
slocal(1), and mhmail(1):
$ grep 'nmh_init.*false[^)]' uip/*.c
uip/install-mh.c: if (nmh_init(argv[0], false, false)) { return 1; }
uip/post.c: if (nmh_init(argv[0], false, false)) { return 1; }
uip/slocal.c: if (nmh_init(argv[0], false, false)) { return 1; }
If the second argument to nmh_init() is false, the context and
profile are not read. mhmail doesn't show up here because it
doesn't have a uip/mhmail.c.

I'm all for updating the man pages, but don't have the time now. I
will add a PROFILE COMPONENTS section to the mhmail page and correct
its CONTEXT section.
