Back then there was some postinstallation script which was creating basic files like /etc/profile and other basic things were created with the first login, like/home/<user> directory, including basic files there.
That's still the case. The relevant postinstall script is /etc/postinstall/base-files-profile.sh. You might check /var/log/setup.log and/or /var/log/setup.log.full to see if you can tell why it failed. Or try running it manually.
