Something is wrong with the process or the profiles here.

Yes it is. See above.

There's a great debate out there about which space to use. In your case
there's something wrong with either the profile or your process if this is
causing these problems from Adobe 98. sRGB will shift out of gamut blues or
in gamut but on perceptual remapping towards purple. Different profiling
packages treat this mapping differently and the CMM can play with this a
little. Some people have edited their profiles in these regions to avoid
this.
