bug#52560: Profiles don't survive roundtrips via files

[Paul Pogonyshev]

On the right is the original profile, on the left it is after a round-trip via file (save/restore). Node "#<compiled -0xd1347ae057bdde2>" is now displayed twice, even though profile contents is supposed to be exactly the same.

Disregard ugly fonts etc. I just started this Docker image: https://github.com/Silex/docker-emacs/blob/master/master/debian/Dockerfile.  Version is reported as GNU Emacs 28.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, cairo version 1.16.0, Xaw3d scroll bars)

When "doing whatever" includes doing a completing-read, I get some
#<compiled> things...  but after following your recipe, I'm still not
sure I understand what the problem is.  Can you include some screenshots
of the good display and the bad display?
