I think the reason for this is up to the inconstant condition during

this special inconstancy like the one in the phase of the test can

One of the earliest threads on the List was a debate where Mattias
Nyman held the view that the best results are achieved by running the
press to desirable values and then profiling that, rather than
running the press to accidental values and averaging that. Your
results match those of Mattias as indeed they do the recommended
approach.
WRT to the Generic CMYK Profile, then it is not an offset profile,
but a profile for a color laser printer with so high black
replacement that it looks like a separation from RGB working space to
uncoated offset CMYK using Relative Colorimetric with Black Point
Compensation unchecked. Even for a color laser printer profile, this
is undesirable, and as offset profile it is unacceptable.
