Photoshop 6 changing black to gray

I am having an odd problem with Photoshop 6 -- whenever I rasterize a Quark 4 or Illustrator 8 vector eps files, PS changes 100% black to a percentage of black. If I goof around with the CMYK working space, the color I end up with changes -- which is really odd because I'm working on a grayscale document.

The eps files are really simple -- black type or shapes, and I'm rasterizing into grayscale. Here are the values what I get for the different settings:

Color Management Off: 78%
Colorsync Workflow: 93%
Emulate Photoshop 4: 100%
Japan Prepress Defaults: 95%
Photoshop 5 default spaces: 100%
U.S. Prepress Defaults: 85%
Web Graphics Defaults: 78%

Am I missing some other setting somewhere? If not I guess I'll revert to PS4 emulation. Although I'd like to use one of the more modern settings in case we ever decide to get into color management, I do need to have dependable, consistent color between applications.
