I'm trying to customize templates based on the profile ID, per this page:
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Customize+Built-in+and+Profile+Screens

I have no problem with overriding default templates when NOT specifying a specific profile ID. But when I follow the guidance on the lower part of that page, creating a subdirectory for the ID number and putting my custom template in there, it doesn't work. It reverts to the default template (even if I have a generic template override in the parent directory). What's strange is that when I view the source for the page, it DOES reference the profile-specific subdirectory. Weird.

Here's the scenario:

In my custom templates folder I have the following:
CRM/Profile/Page/1/View.tpl

When the file is ONLY in:
CRM/Profile/Page/View.tpl

it works -- but affects all calls on that template. I want it to only affect profile 1, which is why I had created and moved it to the /1/ subdirectory.

Has anyone else had issues with this, or have suggestions for troubleshooting?

Yes, and my custom templates are working perfectly when I DON'T add the profile-specific directory.

Here's the full path:
/home/XXXXX/media/civicrm/templates/CRM/Profile/Page/1/View.tpl

If I place the file in:
...CRM/Profile/Page/View.tpl

...it works perfectly, but affects all calls to that template (I just want it called for a single profile page).

I spent some more time on this and it appears to be working correctly. Not sure what I did previously to get the errant results.
