Your vector is open. Zoom into the section at the top-center of the heart shape. There is a gap between the start node and the end node.
Use the tool: Join/Close - vectors by moving end points to a common point

The vector is open, not closed. The problem also may have something to do with the fact that the ends are quite close to each other. If the ends are joined, or moved so there is more distance between the ends, the profile will work. But it does appear to be a bug.

You may have done but it doesn't always join the vectors, it depends on what option you use to join them & how far apart the end nodes are :lol: :lol:
