I scan my 35mm slides with a Nikon scanner whose software can be used as a

no exposure or color adjustment (as I made the profile) and then assign the
scanner profile to the image, then convert it to my working space, Adobe
RGB.
If I scan as a Photoshop plugin, the image is tagged as Adobe RGB (my
working space), to which I assign the scanner profile and then convert back
to Adobe RGB. If I use the scanner as a stand alone, I get an untagged RGB
file...

I also scan with color management off for my Nikon LS4000ED, and when
scanning into Photoshop it tags the scan as AdobeRGB which is very
annoying. But don't fret, it's not converting the data, just tagging
it with the wrong profile. You're doing the right thing by retagging
it with it your custom profile (which is what I do).
By the way, after assigning the correct profile (my custom one) I
save it as is. That way I always have the original data on file. I
can still work in the AdobeRGB space (or any other I choose in the
future) should I wish to.
