That's a weird way of doing this, if you ask me...
Normally (or, "in the Linux distributions I've been able to check"), .profile
sourcing the .bashrc.
The solution would be to launch bash with --rcfile=~/.profile

This is even weirder way of doing things.

# if running bash
if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
    # include .bashrc if it exists
    if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
        . "$HOME/.bashrc"
    fi
fi

Naturally, if you start with --rcfile set to .profile, your normal rcfile will
still be included.

I'm unsure of the origin of this mess, but it's really should not be an issue.
Probably need to investigate whole chain, that leading to the bash being
started without .profile being run at least once in the meantime.
