Problem with LocalLB::VirtualServer::remove_profile and LocalLB::VirtualServer::remove_all_profiles

Calling remove_all_profiles or remove_profile with list of all VS profiles results in tcp profile being set.   Without ability to remove tcp profile I can't do two things:   * set optimized TCP ...

JIC, here's more detailed description of the problem:

Some time ago we've upgraded BIG IP LTM: 9.3.1 -> 10.2.0. And now one of usual operation done a lot of times before got broken. Namely, we cannot change type of Virtual Servers in the following way by means of iControl anymore: "Standard" -> "Performance (HTTP)" (in terms of F5 UI).
Here's sequence of our actions:
1. LocalLB::VirtualServer::remove_profile( "oneconnect" )
2. LocalLB::VirtualServer::remove_profile( "tcp-wan-optimized" )
3. LocalLB::VirtualServer::remove_profile( "tcp-lan-optimized" )
4. LocalLB::VirtualServer::remove_profile( "http" )*all* profiles associated w/ "Standard" server>
5. LocalLB::VirtualServer::add_profile( "fasthttp" )
Currently (after upgrade to 10.2.0), step 5 fails constantly. It looks like, now F5 adds profile "tcp" after step 4. implicitly. And fasthttp profile cannot be added to such pool (we get error "Virtual server ... lists incompatible profiles.").
So, could you please advise how to convert VirtualServer from "Standard" to "Performance (HTTP)" via iControl 10.2.0?
