Yes, attempting to change profiles results in a crash for me too.

FYI: There are at least 3 bugs related to crashes occurring with respect to changing profiles that have been reported in bugzilla already, with the first 2 below being more generic than the last one:
	https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2670
	https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3640
	https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2902
Duplicates?

... and another with a profile-related issue, although not causing a crash:
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2309
"2. When changing configuration profile the SMI configuration will not change."
