Maybe take a look at the following code in 'icedove':

         ;; Fixes issue where each installation directory generates its
own profile.
         ;; See e.g.
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/31457
         (add-after 'patch-source-shebangs 'fix-profile-setting
           (lambda _
             (substitute* "comm/mail/moz.configure"
               (("MOZ_DEDICATED_PROFILES, True")
                "MOZ_DEDICATED_PROFILES, False"))
             #t))

Seems like this was fixed at some point but the fix broke?

Greetings,
Maxime.
