On mine it executes .bash_profile (normal login shell).

According to ssh man page you should get a normal login if you don't
specify a command to execute.

Is your login shell bash?  Is there some system setup to cause bash to
look in a different login file? (e.g. .profile?)

If bash is invoked as 'sh' I understand that it looks instead in
.profile
