On the face of things, the bindist flag shouldn't control that; with bindist set, you should also get ESR, only unbranded. And ESR shouldn't be creating new profiles. Upstream's developer (formerly aurora) channel, which does use those profiles, is a separate channel from ESR. The developer channel is a pre-beta channel, currenty offering Firefox 41.0a2, <https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/developer/>.
