Not really answering your question, but a couple simple workarounds: - put your user profiles under http://domain.com/profiles/username - move the corresponding url patterns last, so any other "conflicting" url will have precedence FWIW, checking the user's profile url - based on username - won't conflict with an existing one is mostly a sound concern, but (sorry for being that dumb) this will only prevent conflicts with *existing* urls - whenever you add any other url (flatpage anyone ?) at the same level as your user profiles, you have a potential for conflicts...
