No this is a feature. Big profiles (larger than 519 bytes) are chunked into multiple key-value entries in the blockchain. The "head" chunk has a next pointer to the next chunk and so on. The head chunk's key is the username, in the "u/" namespace. We didn't want to polute the u/ namespace with follow on chunks, so we just decided to go with "i/", but really the next pointer can go to any key in the KV you want.
