Yep, I guess that was the problem: first I had send-hooks defined everywhere
(even in the profiles) and keeping loading profiles made it worse.
Sourcing the profiles work okay with the mutt variables, but send-
hooks should also be cleaned when loading a profile. That is, of
course, if the send-hook contains definitions that might overrule
the profile settings. Therefore, if there are send-hooks that
set same things as profiles, unhook should be performed for those
in order to make them work.
Of course, this was my own stupidity: I had some ridicilous send-hooks
in muttrc :-)

I am indeed, adding this to profile.default (all in one line):
set status_format="-%r-Mutt: %f [Msgs:%?M?%M/?%m%?n? New:%n?%?o? Old:%o?%?d?
Del:%d?%?F? Flag:%F?%?t? Tag:%t?%?p? Post:%p?%?b? Inc:%b? %?l? %l?]---(%s/%S)
-default-%>-(%P)---"
and this to profile.personal:
set status_format="-%r-Mutt: %f [Msgs:%?M?%M/?%m%?n? New:%n?%?o? Old:%o?%?d?
Del:%d?%?F? Flag:%F?%?t? Tag:%t?%?p? Post:%p?%?b? Inc:%b? %?l? %l?]---(%s/%S)
-personal-%>-(%P)---"
gives me what I need: a way to remember which profile is active!
Sorry about the misleading term "status bar", mutt manual seems to use
"status line".

Excellent tip: if I store the profile setting in an environment variable,
I can test it and only load profile if it is not already active.

Good point, I'm using zsh so the above example works for me.
I'll try this out and let you know if it works okay.
Thanks guys!
