It can't be that cause I definitely made all the right choices with Orlaith
Orlaith profile gets question mark around first time she mentioned in dialogue (couch talk with Cerys and Luther) and fully unlocked after scene of meeting her for first time (back in chapter 1)
are you using old saves? dev keep reworking scripts every update, it possible you got past that section on older update before variable was added
either way, tested on fresh start + wt mod - profile gets updated without problems
