Comment (by shanebp):

 This patch solves the issues re empty links and the skipping of checking
 the ''do_autolink'' value of a profile field.

 I was unable to determine a consistent BP approach to checking the value
 of ''do_autolink''.
 It seems to be skipped sometimes and perhaps varies depending on whether
 the field is being viewed in a profile loop or via
 ''xprofile_get_field_data''.
 It seems like a code tangle.

 iow. While this patch works, the core devs may want to approach it
 differently.
