I've had the same experience. I've filed these as bugs on bugreporter.
1. RGB images:
While it doesn't use embedded profiles at first, it does suddenly use
them if you quit and relaunch. Poof, all the previews are different!
But if you print, whether you quit/relaunch or not, the embedded
profile is used. So it's possible to place an image and not see the
profile's effect, print the image and then see the profile's effect.
Not good.
2. Print>Save As PDF contains per object profiles. That's good news.
3. CMYK images:
Not that this is going to be very common, but an image is an image.
Mode shouldn't matter. But it does in iPhoto. Embedded profile is
ignored completely. Not for on-screen preview, and not for printing.
The resulting CMYK to RGB conversion is quite bad actually. I can't
tell what its based on.
I can't figure this out because the CMYK images print OK from Preview
and even Mail. At this point I'd say iPhoto is not treating CMYK images
correctly, but I find it peculiar that the Mail team can get it right
(even if it's unintentional) and the iPhoto team continues to have
difficulty with color management.
Also, if you Print>Save as PDF, it creates a PDF that Acrobat will
open, but won't properly display the object saying there isn't
insufficient data.
4. No way to assign (not good) or reassign (would be a bonus) an
embedded profile.
5. doesn't read bitmap PDFs (like a screen shot for example); says it
has no idea what it is. I don't understand what the problem is. PDF
everywhere, even screen shots and iPhoto says they're unreadable or
contain invalid data.
6. doesn't read TIFFs with either JPEG or ZIP compression, both of
which have been in the TIFF spec for years (but then neither does
Preview).
