I have 1.9 but not the latest version so when tested found this as an issue. We will be upgrading the latest 1.9 in the next few days so will check again then.
I also had trouble finding any other discussions or Tracker issues about this (I always have trouble searching for stuff, in this case I was searching for profile link and admin in the blocks forum.
I will keep an eye on the two tracker issues and check out install after the upgrade
Cheers
Teresa
