Sorry, I was not clear on that, was referring to the methods in the Wiki for
'installing in parallel'.
And in fact, both the 'new' macOS method of a helper script setting a
PROFILE_DIR environment variable; or the 'old' method of manual edit of
bootstraprc and setting the internal 'UserInstallation' variable to internal
$ORIGIN path work with a unique profile for each LibreOffice installation.
Either method is intended to allow you to keep your operational user profile
separate from your testing profile--so as to not corrupt your user profile, and
reduce the frequency of needing to reset profile to restore function.
But that is not really the main issue of the <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=128956#c0">comment 0</a> which is about your Java
runtime. For that I can not confirm as each install I perform receives its own
newly configured default profile.</pre>
