I can look into this when I'm back from Latvia (after the 6th of
September) at the earliest. If nobody has done it by then (hint, hint...)

Well, all files that get processed go into typo3temp anyway. So I'd
add this profile removal to the processing chain - whenever an image
is scaled, combined, whatever the profile data will be removed if this
has been switched on. One could even add a switch to override a
system-wide setting for each CE that deals with images (like the
quality options, frame setting and so on).

Another (additional?) way might be a checkbox when uploading files,
that switches the removal on or off.

Writing to a hashed directory structure would be better, that's for
sure.
