On the other hand, maybe we need to treat disabling the default colour profile as a workaround.

I forgot to mention that in at least one case I noticed similar problems in web browsers and image viewers even when using a properly custom calibrated profile for my display.

So a real fix might have to come in the apps themselves, or maybe just one or two image decoding libraries that are misinterpreting the profile data (maybe they don't know or expect the whole compositor is applying the profile already?). To do this someone would need to dig into the code of an affected app and see how/where it is using the colour profile data.
