How would the app know which profile to look at?

If the app requires an email login, they could search for the email and for the vast majority of people it would return enough information to locate their facebook profile.
That's beside the point though. You're worried that a random person on the internet has access to publicly available information that the entire internet already has access to.
The only extra information you're giving out to the owner of the site by logging in with facebook is that you are a user of this site. The worse thing the owner can do is publish that fact.
That is the only foreseeable risk. I can't imagine enough people are concerned with that risk to make it worth most developer's time to address.
