Details

Steps to reproduce:

1. create /etc/netctl/eth with IP=dhcp
2. netctl start eth
3. will launch a dhcpcd process
4. change /etc/netctl/eth to IP=static and the needed config (IP address, etc)
5. netctl stop eth

Problem:
The dhcpcd process from step 3 remains running and it will interfere with the static assignment from step 4 if the profile is started again.
Also, systemctl status dhcpcd will report inactive service, because this dhcpcd is launched without systemd control. The only way to get rid of it is to kill it manually.
This task depends upon

It is bad practice to modify a running profile. I'm afraid there's not much we can do to fix issues of this kind.

You can always copy the profile, modify the copy and switch-to the copy.
