This is cobbler 2.0.3 (2.0.3.1-3), running under CentOS 5.5.
Here's what I'm seeing. I start with a parent profile:
# cobbler profile report --name=centos-5-i386-seas-server
Name : centos-5-i386-seas-server
Comment : SEAS server, no network users
DHCP Tag : default
Distribution : centos-5-i386

I create a new profile like this:
# cobbler profile add --name=lars-testing --parent=centos-5-i386-seas-server
And "cobbler profile report" shows:
# cobbler profile report --name=lars-testing
Name : lars-testing
Comment :

Some metadata is inherited correctly, even though you wouldn't guess
it from the above output. For example, "management classes" shows up
as empty, but actually:
# cobbler profile dumpvars --name=lars-testing | grep mgmt_classes
mgmt_classes : ['seas']
But distro and distro_name are both set to "~".
