I just upgraded a 1.8.2 database to 1.9beta, and I cannot reproduce your problem. Non-admin users can edit their own profile without any trouble.

We have Moodle 1.9 Beta + (2007082803) upgraded from 1.82 and we thought we had this problem. However once we could set the default role as authenticated user and this fixed the problem.

I found a similar thing when I upgraded from 1.83 to 1.9 beta I tracked the problem back to some new role capabilities.

In version 1.9 (under Administration/Users/Permissions/Define roles) you can now set whether the user is able to "Edit own user profile"

I found once I had set this to "Allow" for the student role, moodle returned to it's "normal" behaviour.

I had same problem today. I installed v1.9 and set default tole to guest. Then, non admin user cannot edit their profile. Thanks to Colin's comments. I set default role back to authenticated user and all are fine. There should be a warning in the setup page. It was so frustrated small problem. Luckily I can find help from here.

There are other legacy guest capability related problems, sorry
Unfortunately warnings will not help much here, we need to rethink the enrolment implementation in 2.0
