This a feature of the standard upgrade process, as recommended by the
maintainers. That is to unpack a tar image over the working directory.

But since some code has moved, older versions of the code remain and are
executed. It appears that this is the "profiler" code, which has moved into
/includes/profiler/ from /includes/ 

Deleting the old versions, and the file StartProfiler.php at the top level fixes
this.

Other files in /includes/ in 1.17 (which have to be deleted) are


Profiler.php        ProfilerSimpleText.php   ProfilerSimpleUDP.php 
ProtectionForm.php  UserRightsProxy.php
ProfilerSimple.php  ProfilerSimpleTrace.php  ProfilerStub.php      
ProxyTools.php
