there is no BUG... but you have not understood how to set up a custom channel role

it is done under

/settings

and

/settings/privacy

your are playing around with the profile settings but that is something different.

so try this:

/settings > Basic Settings > Channel role

set to "Custom"

and

/settings/privacy > advanced configuration

set

"Can view my connections to"
to
"only those your specifically allow"

After a channel has been created, there are two options available in 'privacy settings':
"
Automatically approve new contacts
Opt-out of search engine indexing
"

What has been described in the original post, is available to the user.

Therefore, it is useful to understand what a person can do when (s)he creates profiles.

Yes

but a Channel Role is something very different. :-)

New documentation is going to be written

up to than try to figure out what the differences are between

-- Channel Role
-- Contact Role

-- default permissions
-- Privacy Group

-- Channel Profiles

and how they effect each other
