There have been a number of good points made so far. I think this feature gives everyone an opportunity to be much more creative as well. For those with just a bare bones profile, perhaps it will inspire them to divulge a bit more in order to "get found" - whether they are selling their products and services or looking for their next career challenge.
As for those who are looking and want to be "found in reverse", you can always categorise yourself differently or clock yourself as in "someone in the media production industry" which seems pretty anonymous to me.
However I think having the option of specifying whether you are in stealth mode or not could be confusing - particularly if you have to keep switching back and forth because you just don't know what you are going to find until you are on their page.
I think I saw something over the week-end which indicated that different accounts have different privileges - eg free could only see one person who had looked at their profile. Certainly I would like the ability to see who had looked at the profile in either the day or the last week.
The other thing which would be useful is to see the number of public profile hits - possibly as an absolute number as it would indicate how visible one was outside one's own network.
Hope this is interesting food for thought.
