hmm.. as part of trying to resolve this I've found a bug in the registration process.

If one enables the country field in the registration form, then when a user views the form, the country field is pre-populated with the country.. possibly by browser locale or something.

If the user registers without modifying that country, then the profile table will be populated with the literal country name and not the country ID... and this is not correct.

Only if the user clicks into the country field, clears it and then begins typing and selects a suggested country, then the profile table will get the country ID and not the name.

So that's definitely a bug, but it doesn't appear to affect the issue I'm having. I'll continue with this.
