That is EXACTLY what I was doing, yet the extruded tube would distort in unpredictable ways whenever I play with scale, rotation and such.

Finally I looked at the setup and had a moment of enlightmet - "Well, Theeeere is your problem": My curve's pivot was in the middle of the curve and the extrude followed that point for deformations. As soon as I moved the pivot to the 1st CV and then moved the curve so that it's pivot overlaps with extruded shapes' pivot - voila! all works fine.

Thanks for the tip with scaling the profile - it really does help :)
