David, when we say "profiles are not inherited" it´s because it is really not inherited.. I mean.. if you define a profile in a parent with lots of configurations and then you define a profile with the same name in a child the configuration defined in the parent is not applyied to the child. The child has a new brand profile that happens to have the same name of the profile defined in the parent.
And because they have the same name, they both get activated by -P, but they are two different profiles, each one with its own configuration. @Roland what makes you say profile is not being activated? For the configuration you showed before, you did not define any special behaviour to happen when the profile "default-code-coverage" is active.
