I hit this on Wednesday, I think its a problem in the profile generation
code, related to character encoding, and possibly to do with locales.

It was triggered by the recent nss-certs update, but I don't think that
has anything to do with it, apart from introducing some files with names
including non-ascii characters.

I've filed bug#25213 about this which includes instructions to reproduce it.
