Description
This FAQ item explains it the best: http://ffmpeg.org/faq.html#g_t_002dprofile-option-fails-when-encoding-H_002e264-video-with-AAC-audio
It might be good to fix the error message to be a little bit more clear or descriptive. Simple "profile 'baseline' not recognized as a valid profile for AAC encoder, try using -profile:v instead" would be better since it would provide end users some clue what went wrong.

There is already a warning:
Also, it seems that it will not actually fail if the profile is for x264: it will be taken as such and ignored for libfaac (even if the AAC stream comes first). Something may have changed since that entry in the FAQ, the FAQ may need to be updated.
