Photoshop 6 supports conversions to grayscale that can range depending on
what you set in your color preferences (Gamma or dot gain). Go into the
color settings and see what was set. You can have custom gamma or dot gain
settings if so created or use one of the supplied setting (1.8 or 2.2 gamma
or a number of dot gain settings hard wired into that popup menu for
Grayscale). Sounds like the two were out of sync and Photoshop 5 doesn't
know how to properly preview the file since it assumed a gamma setting for
all grayscale files.
