This brings up some interesting questions. All the apps like Indesign, Quark, ColorMunki, i1Profiler, etc. that do not use Apple's new printing path have no problem with turning off Colorsync/CM in the printer driver.
If any of these etc. ever become 64-bit apps they will have to use Apple's new printing path won't they?
Is Apple going to continue to allow these apps to not use Apple's new printing path and or for how long? How long will Apple keep that option available.

The results of such tests could be published in a wiki at the ICC website.
