Why are we not using (and I have tested this using 1.2.6)? $form->input('Profile.group', array('options'=>$groups));
Where $groups is the options array relating to the Profile.group field, the fact you supply an options array tells the form helper to automatically create a select list. If $this->data['Profile']['group'] is set in the controller (either manually or from a Model->find call) the form helper will automatically select it if the value matches a key in your $groups array.
