With a fresh install of 1.8.2, the user profile is missing the course listing.

A bit of debugging in /lib/datalib.php showed that this statement in get_my_courses evaluates to true for site admins, even when they are teachers:

if (has_capability('moodle/legacy:guest',$sitecontext,$userid,true))

{ return(array()); }

For students and teachers, there is no problem.
