I have .profile as a symink (to a Mercurial repository in my case) and
it works as expected.
chris$ cd
/home/chris
chris$ ls -al .profile
lrwxrwxrwx 1 chris chris 13 Nov 4 2024 .profile -> .cfg/.profile
chris$
So I don't think it's anything to do with your .profile being a
symlink. I'd take a careful look at permissions etc.
