I recently downloaded an approved profile for The Rambo Ultimate Set with all 4 movies and bonus disc. The profile listed runningtime for the bonus disc and I thought this was not allowed?

From the rules:

Use the combined running time of all the films in the Box Set; do not include running time of any extra features.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

Can you clarify something?  Do you mean that the BOX SET profile included the bonus disc's running time, or the BONUS DISC profile had the running time?  If it is the latter, I don't see a problem.  Otherwise, it would be wrong.

Mistakes are made, Mike, perhaps the user did not note that his information included the Bonius Disc  and nobody caught it. Don't forget Ken and gerri are very dependent on us being honest as users in following the rules, they do not have access to every possible title themselves.

As long as it was simply the bonus disk I don't see a problem.  Of course if it were added to total running time for the box set master, that would be a different story.  Personally, I would be interested in knowing how much material a bonus disk contained.  Some of them are embarrassingly skimpy.

That's one of the first I thought off when you mentioned "skimpy."  That would be embarassing for a bonus disc from Best Buy, Circuit City or Walmart.

In that case, I have to believe the the running time is allowed.  The rule I quoted was for the total running time for the parent profile.  I don't believe there is a rule against including the running time of bonus features on a disc that is all bonus features.
