Comment:

 > BP_XProfile_Field does not have a populate() method.

 It does.  See:
 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.7-rc1/bp-xprofile/bp-
 xprofile-classes.php#L453

 There's also an inline note denoting why we are even wiping out the
 `$user_id` variable:
 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.7-rc1/bp-xprofile/bp-
 xprofile-classes.php#L456

 The good news is we never use the second or third parameters of
 `BP_XProfile_Field::populate()` internally.  So it looks like eggproject
 is doing something specific.

 We should perhaps look at rectifying this.
