One very interesting point you mention is how these colors are converted. If the Pantone database is in L*a*b*, it gets converted to the working space via the working profile. If the database in in CMYK (as with Pantone Bridge), the same CMYK values are inserted for all CMYK working spaces; this is a nice way to get the wrong colors!

You are right, but as Martin Orpen indicated, the automatic Lab->CMYK transformation can also cause a lot of trouble (frayed or smeard up contours, poorly readable fonts, ...) although the CMYK values are colorimetrically correct.
