Good call John. I'm on 0.26-pre and seeing the same, if I manually run:

   /usr/local/share/mythtv/hardwareprofile/sendProfile.py --submitOnly -a --debug,

The following prints:

   Processing MythTV Data
   smoon server URL: http://smolt.mythtv.org/
   sendHostStr: {"default_runlevel": "2", "bogomips": "7233.01",  much more data here ... }
   Sending Host
   Error contacting Server: HTTP Error 500: Internal error
   Could not send - Exiting

In mythconverg, HardwareProfileLastUpdated = 2012-04-27T15:28:30.

Watching the protocol, the initial GET is accepted (smolt returns code 200 OK.)
But the following POST fails:

   http://smolt.mythtv.org/client/add_json, POST /client/add_json HTTP/1.1
   500 Internal error
