Don't mean to get your hopes up Car by having a reply...but I have the exact same behavior. I am wondering on my case if it is because I have phpinfo() disabled. Everything seems to work on the front end as far as user images and gallery images, but the backend still says it isn't enabled. Not sure if this is where CB gets it's info but I would like someone to confirm that this isn't a problem before I start making more CB sites.
Car you do not need a plugin, PHP is either compiled with it or not. I know mine was compiled with it and I use it on other sites. If I were you I would believe them that it is installed, and check joomla admin under help->System Info->PHP Information to see if it has your php information there. If it is blank then you probably have the phpinfo command disabled as well. If it does display information you should probably copy and paste it into this forum for the moderator to see.
My problem is that when I try to upload my image to the profile I get an error 500. Even though my webhost conforms that I have GD and it should be able to handle the large image.

Please create a php file with this code and see if GD is installed and how its configured:
Code:
<?php
var_dump(gd_info());
?>
Create gdtest.php file using your text editor and copy / paste above code in it.
Then upload to your public html folder (same place that joomla is installed), then execute it from your browser:
yourdomain.com/gdtest.php
and see what it says.
