I used something like:
avconv -i inputfile -vcodec libx264 -profile high outputfile

I don't think -vpre option still work?  At least not all of them.

Just to be sure, can you please provide the complete command that you
have used in your tests? Do you use the old, deprecated -vpre options
or the newish x264 codec private options:

>> avconv -help | grep x264
[...]
   mbtree  E.V.. use macroblock tree ratecontrol (x264 only)
-crfE.V.. enables constant quality mode, and
selects the quality (x264)
-keyint_min   E.V.. minimum interval between IDR-frames (x264)
libx264 AVOptions:
-preset E.V.. Set the encoding preset (cf. x264 --fullhelp)
-tune   E.V.. Tune the encoding params (cf. x264 --fullhelp)
-profileE.V.. Set profile restrictions (cf. x264
--fullhelp)

> Using x264 directly does give me the profile I request.

Okay, that means that libx264 is functional.
