To reply to myself, I asked on my RL G+ stream, and someone who's actually been at Google answered and said that private profiles are NOT the equivalent of setting your G+ profile to not be searchable. Private profiles completely predate G+ and are something else. I don't know if there is currently a way to set a profile to private in such a way as to trigger the upcoming purge.
