 > Damn. I'm inclined to suggest that we still aim to resolve this; the
 current behaviour is pretty harmful.

 While I agree, I'm not re-architecting Profiles at this time.
 It's a pretty blunt redirect at a very low level to prevent a lot of
 WordPress & BuddyPress functionality from operating - even replacing it
 with an equally blunt 404 didn't work out too well.
