You may be becoming Deadline Delerious... that state of numbness that
increases as the deadline approaches.
Try it this way: go to the CMYK channels, and select Magenta. Nail down the
majority of the curve, and reshape the dark end. This gives the expected
result for me. Part of the problem is that Photoshop has predefined CMYK
settings that you are working under; its a bit like changing the cables of a
suspension bridge while you are standing on it...
But in the end if you can change it globally in Photoshop, especially in
curves, then you can apply it to the profile with DoctroPRO... its just a
matter of what effect that tweak will have on that profile.
