Uli,
I'm using Lightroom 2 for Windows, North American English language edition. This application is supposed to do the same things regardless of the choice of language or platform (Mac or PC). When I activate the Export dialog, in File Settings, I can select any of the File Format options and the Color Space remains the same as I had it, so for clarity, whether I select TIFF or PSD, the Color Space will remain ProPhoto if that is where I set it.
I'm not sure how you can say this is *not* important for the issue at hand. If "the issue at hand" is profiling for a colour managed work flow which produces "accurate" colour from capture to output - whenever possible, then the colour management settings used to both create the profiles and evaluate their performance would seem to be relevant, and the choice of working space is one such setting.

Yep, I know.

I can only repeat there is, at least in the German version.
Steps to reproduce (I'm translating from the German GUI, so it's
probably not exact):
1) Perform a clean install of Lightroom
2) Launch Lightroom
3) Import at least one RAW image
4) Select the RAW image
5) Choose File > Export...
6) In the panel that appears, you can choose the image format you want
to export in the lower third (called something like "File Settings").
If you choose "TIFF" in the Format popup, the Color Space popup below
automatically jumps to "AdobeRGB (1998)".
The steps 4-6 are the obvious steps to perform when you want to export
an image for the first time.
But again, this is *not* important at all for the issue at hand!
Bye
Uli
