Yeah, that un-created profiles thing can be a major hassle. I believe
I documented this issue in the doc/USING file, but who reads docs
anyway? Most of the docs in there have not been kept uptodate
with some changes, but for the most part they still work.

As far as other bugs not already mentioned (customers, profiles, etc)
I am not aware of anything in particular. We have been using it where
I work since about October of last year. Our "production" server
is still running 0.9.4, but I have a parallel version of 0.9.9p1 installed
for testing and even a 0.9.10pre18 version on a new server I am
setting up (Timetrack doesn't work at all with the 0.9.10 series).

I did make one recent custom change to our production server recently,
which I will probably also make available in time. It was mainly an edit
to the jobslist.php page to remove the SUM(jd.num_hours) cross join
in the query for displaying the number of hours worked on a job in this
list, and added a total report to the details link, changing the text of the
"Num Hours" with "Details". The reason for this was that with our current
data having a total number of jobs over 300, and about 3000 job_detail
records, the response time to display this page was getting quite pathetic
on our current server. I suppose the best way to implement this would be
a config option so you could decide to display totals there or not.

I have a bunch of "todo" items for new features scribbled on paper here
and there, I really need to sit down and bring them all together. I would
say the biggest bug then is the lack of additional features, most notable
of which require the use of other backend database tools (my favorite
is phpMyAdmin) for correcting mistakes which do not yet have methods
internal to timetracker, like deleting jobs, changing a job number, etc,
plus there is no current method to export data, we still resort to manually
printing out the timesheets each week to turn them in.

Someone else had also submitted a patch recently to me which also deals
with the customers page, I truthfully have not even had time yet to look
at either of them. Hopefully this weekend.
