Actually, I believe album privacy was not affected by this change at all.
Go here : http://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=privacy§ion=pr... - notice there's a separate setting for Photo Albums. That (the album privacy) interface has existed for at least a year. Your profile photos should be an album under there.
Photos /of/ you, where you've been tagged is a separate setting that is called out on that page, which I believe was in the recent privacy changes dialog.
A further confusion is that the current Profile picture is publicly available information, as per the recent changes.
This was definitely poorly communicated in the changes dialog; hopefully these things will get better in further iterations.
You can click on the 'Preview as' button to see your profile as it will appear to another user.
