This is very plausible. I can absolutely confirm that I couldn't get LOS to recognize the profile until I added parity checking code to the profile emulation in LisaEm.
There is another thing I think I mentioned elsewhere about how profile drives have a spare table and if you go over some threshhold (I think 10), LOS will refuse to install on them. MacWorks might not have the same check. I don't think this applies in your case - as you say, if the parity line had something shorting it, it would cause your issue, and cleaning that short would fix it, so well done.
