This is quite interesting and I wouldn¹t have expected this result. My
assumption was that, as on the PC, the file would be pixel-for-pixel,
level-for-level, identical. Thanks for doing this test. I would be
interested to hear if you come up with any firmer conclusions about what is
happening in the mac to account for this behavior.

Even though the image may be displayed in the wrong color space, a screen
capture in no way captures a damaged file (at least on a PC!). The user
simply has to apply the correct profile or any other profile that looks
³correct² or pleasing.
