Hey Colin, Thanks for the reporting this. I chatted with some other team members about this and one of them tracked down the bug that causes this (thanks sky!). The current belief is that this should only affect a small number of users (ones that ran the latest code against an old profile created during a small window of time on the dev channel), but the fix should repair the damaged data.
