I really don't have any idea where to start debugging this.  Can you
verify that profile runs before netif?  If it doesn't, profile is
probably messing with the interface in an unsupported way and killing
dhclient.  With the base doing a better job of supporting dynamic
configuration, we're diverging more and more from the 4.x model profile
is based on so it's going to be increasingly difficult to make it work
without major rewrites.
