I'm aware of this problem. The underlying issue is somewhat complicated; here's what happens:
In the new profile, you get a remote NTP, from https://www.google.com/_/chrome/newtab. If you're not in the US, then after a few seconds, the Google base URL changes to, say, www.google.co.uk. After that, the remote NTP wouldn't work correctly anymore, and so we forward you to the local NTP instead (chrome-search://local-ntp/local-ntp.html). The local NTP doesn't support the One Google Bar (which contains those links) yet.

This will be fixed once we support the One Google Bar on the local NTP ->  bug 583292 . In the meantime, lowering prio since the problem has been around for a long time, and doesn't occur often.

Starting in Chrome 62, we have support for the OneGoogleBar on the local NTP (see  bug 583292 ), which should resolve this.
