Strokes with a profile and have the rounded corners selected end up having pointy corners
The corners of my strokes should have a rounded corner but the moment I adjust the profile with the width tool they turn all pointy

Sure, just wanted to see if this is the same problem.
This anchor is a starting point of the path, and it applies some limitations to how width profile behaves in it...
Look at the image attached. A made a tapered profile, saved as a graphic style and applied to your shape. Start and end markers of the profile have different weights/widths, and AI has to join them in a way that makes sense — compare the square and the circle. So the sharp corner is the result of two end intersecting and limiting one another. Even when start and end markers have the same weight, like your original profile, the same rule applies.I can’t really say it’s a bug, I see it more as a result of the not-so evident math...
Voted anyway. Thanks, Brendan. -

Brendan, please share the test file with this path and the stroke within
