It looks like bugs: 29865, 30338, 30733, and 30949 (by subject browsing). If you are the one handling the pre-defined profiles, don't worry, this one isn't your problem. But make sure that the vga16 server is installed because Branden left a depends on the virtual package and a comment in the xf86setup package that you need vga16 if you want the GUI config. He doesn't have a specific recommends or suggests because apparently there are other uses for the xf86setup package that doen't require the vga16 server specifically (haven't used them myself).
