I'm not sure if the hosts file is even read when it's in a profile directory, or where exactly Wireshark expects a hosts file. Do you know if that's supposed to work?

Yes, I tried it again after Chris Maynard said the same thing, and it worked. So it must have been one of those "I did something wrong even though I was sure I didn't" situations :-)
But the good thing is that Roland is now aware of all this for his planned rewrite of the profile handling code.
