-P switch to start Profile Manager doesn't work on thunderbird

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a shortcut for latest builds of thunderbird and one for latest firefox.
2. Edit both shortcuts (right click -> properties).
3. Add ' -ProfileManager' (without the quotes) at the end of the 'Destination' field.
4. Double clicking on both shortcuts starts the Profile Manager as expected.
5. Edit both shortcuts again (or create two new ones), but this time add ' -P' instead of ' -ProfileManager' at the end of their 'Destination' field.
Actual Results:  
- Firefox's Profile Manager starts with any of '- P' and '-ProfileManager' switch set.
- Thunderbird only excepts ' -ProfileManager' as valid switch (nothing happens with '-P').

Expected Results:  
Thunderbird's Profile Manager should start with '-ProfileManager' as well.

No problem with next 2 builds on MS Win-XP. "-P" invoked profile selection panel.

Do you mean that "-P" worked as you expect until you updated to 20090328 build?
Which build is last build which worked as you expect?

Please note that "-P" is never equivalence of "-ProfileManager". "-P" is "no profile name value" case of '-P "Profile_Name"' request.  
What is set in next parameter in profiles.ini?
> [General]
> StartWithLastProfile=0   (corresponds to "Don't ask for startup")
How many profiles are defined in profiles.ini?
In which profile.ini entry "Default=1" is set?
Is there any difference of aboves between Fx's profiles.ini and Tb's profiles.ini?
