....except that the OP claimed to have exported the image from Lightroom using the display profile as the destination. One would assume that if the screensaver application is simply throwing up(!) raw/untagged RGB values to the display that exporting or converting to the display profile would render the images correctly, regardless whether the image is tagged or not.
Only a few things could be going on here.....
* The display used for the screensaver is not the primary display so the display profile that the image should be converted to is something else. I would suggest to the OP to verify the profile that's being used on the primary display and see if converting to THAT profile renders the image correctly.
* The system is ignoring tagged images and "assigning" something other than the active display profile. I believe someone suggested "Generic RGB" could be at play here.
