 Hi @stevenkword, Boone,
 I've managed to reproduce. And actually, bug is a little bit more complex
 than it seems to be.

 1/ This only happens if multisite config is set to subfolders,
 {{{BP_ENABLE_ROOT_PROFILES}}} is set to true and the username === blog
 slug.

 In this very particular case as {{{site.url/slug}}} is the same url for
 user's profile and user's blog then we have this trouble.

 I need to investigate further, but i strongly think that it could be the
 case with each member's username. For instance if i choose a blog slug
 different from my username but the same than another username, then
 there's a strong chance that the corresponding user will allways see my
 blog instead of his profile !

 2/ This also causes a notice error with
 {{{WP_Query::get_queried_object()}}} as in {{{bp_core_load_template()}}}
 the members page id is not affected to $object_id around line 357.

 From my point of view and only for this particular case (multisite
 subfolders/root profile):
 here are the options :
 1/ the simpliest : if multisite is set to subfolders, then neutralize the
 effect of {{{BP_ENABLE_ROOT_PROFILES}}} to avoid any problems. It means,
 root profile will only be available for subdomains multisite.
 2/ Treat usernames as forbidden blog slugs but requesting all usernames
 while registering a new blog may be a heavy process !

 Thanks for the patch @stevenkword, but i think it's not a good solution as
 it actually loads the user's profile inside user's blog but completely
 breaks user's blog as for instance trying to reach the "hello world" post
 brings you to a 404.

 I'm working on it and will suggest an alternative patch tonight.
