Carlos, the profiles are indeed active by default, which contradicts the Maven POM schema(!) Perhaps there's another schema that applies to external profiles such as in my case since I was using profiles.xml (or I'm not interpreting the schema correctly). Oh well, it doesn't really matter now.
Once I specified <activeByDefault>false</activeByDefault> on one of the profiles, 'mvn help:active-profiles' did indeed report that profile as inactive. It now works as expected, once I tagged all profiles in profiles.xml as <activeByDefault>false</activeByDefault>. I can now activate a profile by specifying -P <profile id>, which is exactly what I wanted.
