It seems that the <div id="mw-content-text"> on Special:UserProfile (in the desktop version) is not closed which gives invalid html and destroy the page view (overlapping icons over the content).

What's the use of this useless page anyway? It ain't my profile, not even remotely (That's my user page). It's ugly as f***, I fail to see any purpose for this "merkbefreite" (observationally challenged) page.
Is there a way to opt out of this travesty?
I haven't been able to reproduce this bug. The HTML looks valid and the page seems to display fine. (Testing desktop version.) Can anyone else verify? If so, a screenshot would be useful.
https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spezial:Benutzerprofil/Sänger_S.G&useskin=vector certainly looks broken to me currently.
Strange, but you seem to be right:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UserProfile/Sänger_S.G looks as intended ("right" would be the wrong word ;)
https://en.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UserProfile/Sänger_S.G as well
https://nl.wikimedia.org/wiki/Speciaal:Gebruikersprofiel/Sänger_S.G an again

What's wrong with deWP in this regard?
Or ... better just ditch this no-profile ;)
For what it's worth, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:UserProfile/Sänger_S.G?useskin=monobook looks broken to me.
Due a missing closing div-tag, the header and sidebar (div#mw-navigation) are now within div#content
dewiki has in its MediaWiki:Vector.css, which causes the wrong alignment as seen in the screenshot above.
#content { position: relative; /* ... */ }
If that's the spot, this unclosed div seems to have been introduced in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/93430/https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/rEMFR1000f2e10a60ea70c9cadf7d6ac0ec068c4989cc (November 2013). It would be surprising that nobody noticed until now.
