Creating a new profile which uses any version of Minecraft older than 1.5.2 will make the launcher download the appropriate files but then it fails and the Minecraft window crashes before opening the game. Basically I'm not allowed to use the new feature that lets you try older versions of the game.
I erased the minecraft folder so I could test this on a fresh installation. This are the results:

And old versions are not supported as stated by the popup you get when trying to launch them.

So I can't play old versions of the game as anyone else for no reason and that's it?

Yes, because
That's a crash in your operating system.
Update your graphics drivers (what's impossible for OS X, so update your OS X)
Report this bug to Apple (and/or to Intel, nvidia or AMD, depending on the manufacturer of your graphics card)

I can't update my OS, my machine can't handle more than Snow Leopard and BTW the launcher does work with 1.5 and 1.6 versions. What's different between 1.5+ and older versions?
Also, I started playing beta 1.2 with this very machine and no problem since the new launcher was released; I can still play old versions with the old launcher if I want to.
That's a crash in your operating system.
