All profiles read correctly in alphabetical order. "profiles.xml" read last.
Looks all fine.

All hosts read in alphabetical order. "host.xml" read last. Looks fine too.
However here the issue might start. As you can see the second file read is
"default.xml". It is likely to contain your "catch-all" definition with your
default profile assigned. Something like
<host name='.*' profile-id='default' />
In earlier versions of WPKG the algorithm was just using a pure enumeration of
files within hosts/ directory. On Windows hosts this seem to have worked and
sorted the files in alphabetical order while I discovered that at least on my
Linux host this lead to some different enumeration order. That's why version
1.2.1-RC8 explicitly does a literal ordering of the files before reading them.
Maybe for you it was just working because for you the enumeration was "by
chance" enumerating in the correct order.
If your "default.xml" really contains a "catch-all" entry, then you should make
sure it's read last. For example by renaming it to "zz-default.xml".
Alternatively (my recommendation) put the catch-all entry into P:/hosts.xml
which is always read last.
The reason for this is that WPKG starts to match the current host starting from
top to the last entry. When WPKK encounters a match it stops the matching
process and assigns the matching profile.
So if one of the first entries match to any host, then all hosts will matchi
this profile while further definitions are ignored.
If you intend to match the default profile AND a specific profile, then you can
use the /applyMultiple switch or config.xml setting. But remember to check all
entries for eventual "overmatching" which might lead to unexpected profile
assignment.

Single-match mode. Host match finished.
You're using single-host matching mode. Which is good from my point of view.
Profiles applying to the current host:

Likely this profile was defined in "default.xml" which is evaluated second.

Everything else is just about applying the profile.
PS: I am copying the list too. For others as a reference.
