  Seems the only workaround is to use the "Edit" mode for the profile, rather than "Create" mode.
  
  The limitation being this will only work for logged in users.

  Since this is in theory in-built capability i expected it to be cms agnostic but i don't see it working when i try on demo at <http://wpmaster.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/profile/edit&gid=14&reset=1>
  
  Which may mean this is a bug that should be added to Jira
