There are indications that profile configuration should not be the cause.

The user deleted profiles and created new ones.

A common source of device malfunctions are newly installed maps and files for various activities;
more briefly - external files.

I can't understand it (but anything is possible with "computers") - but the problem was a faulty SD card ! (I couldn't delete files off it, and it wouldn't even let me reformat it.)

New SD card, copied the Profiles and misc .img files to the new card, minimal re-configuration and all seems well.
