this is not bug. because I cant replicate this issue at my test site by using jomsocial 4.1.2
your site using Jomsocial Profile Types extension. many site using that extension having "weird" issue.
because that extension override some jomsocial configuration.
I suggest you to asking that extension provider regarding this issue. I hope they can give your the right answer.
